Zinc plating 1060 steel

2000

I would like to seek your advise as to which type of zinc plating should be done on a 1060 steel.

Diameter: 4.7m
Length: 4 inches
Hardness: 52-55HRC

Desired finish: matte finish

What kind of pickling solution is needed? Is there anyway of avoiding embrittlement? How do we know if it has embrittled?

Thank you in advance.
