Surface layer absorption of hydrogen and embrittlement of high-strength and low-carbon steels during electrochemical processes

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Absorption of hydrogen by surface layers of high-strength and low-carbon steels during application of electrolytic coatings and during corrosion is studied. Concentration profiles are constructed for hydrogen using a method proposed by the author for stepwise removal of thin metal layers. The effect of adding organic substances to the electrolyte on hydrogenation of coatings made of different metals and the steel base is analyzed. The effect of hydrogen on steel passivity is established.
