See my post (no.39) re hydrogen embrittlement. The gold plating is commonly "gold pacifate". The ww2 plating on Dodge bolts (Excellent bolts) was cadmium plating, unfortunately, a toxic , heavy metal.

Cadmium Plating
Cadmium Plating is still commonly used in the aircraft industry as a protective coating. A good electroplater will have access to this.
You will find most industrial plating places & hardchrome platers can Cad. Plate. Hardchrome is the kind you see on shock absorber shafts, hydraulic actuators and the like. Cad plating is muuuuch cheaper than chrome plating.(Not much on a CMP chromed except the wiper arm knob  ) Remember to wash you hands if you have touched cadmium plating. It is toxic, and the oxide (looks like salt) is highly toxic.Ian
