I have no idea, the better the plating and the heavier the plating the longer it takes. Of course if it is hot dipped heavy weight, ash the old style ash cans were done. It might not work. But for the general run of the mill plating on most hardware that is labeled (various/assorted countries of origin) it isn't a problem.

Good idea for a safe alternative, Glen.  I have a project coming up where I'll need to silver braze some threaded rod to
some steel  plates.  I wondered how I was going to get that coating off the threads without a lot of wire brushing. 
This looks to be a much better option!
