List,
If you do buy a bolt and have it plated, you must ensure that it is
subsequently
"de-enbrittled". Any sort of electro-plating causes hydrogen enbrittlement.
Heat treatment is the way to remove it.

My day job is electro-plating, but we don't get involved in de-enbrittleing.

It's only really important when a bolt is working near its extreme limits
of strength, as seems to be the case here.
