Default Electroless Nickel Post Heat?

When you have Electroless Nickel plating done commercially, they post-heat the part at 400° C for 1 hour, which greatly increases the hardness of the nickel plate (from around 40 Rockwell C to around 55).

Can the Caswell Electroless Nickel or Electroless Cobalt (Copy Krome) be post-heated to improve the hardness?

Thanks,

Robert
