Are there any records concerning the influence of temperature dryer on corrosion of blue passivated zinc?

I don't know what you mean by "temperature dryer". Can you rephrase it?

Ted,
I guess what Rujan meant was that wheather the drying temp. has got a relation to the life(SST) to blue passvation.

Yes. the max temp should not be more than "too hot to hold". This temp will not leave wetness to the parts and will not rust while in storage.

You're probably right, T.K. In that case I would agree that if the parts exceed 140 deg F (60 deg C) it will be harmful to the conversion coating.

Thank you for your interest in my posted request.

Well do interests me if there is any connection between the corrosion of blue passivated zinc and the temperature used in dryer and if there are any records concerning that.
