Iv. Yagova et al., THE INFLUENCE OF ANODICALLY POLYMERIZED COATINGS ON THE PENETRATION OF HYDROGEN INTO STEEL, Protection of metals, 33(2), 1997, pp. 193-194
Polymer coatings were produced on the surface of 30X Gamma CHA steel b
y its anodic polarization in aqueous solutions of aniline, phenol, and
their mixture. The effect of the coatings on the steel cathodic hydro
genation in a solution of 0.05 M H2SO4 + 10 mg/l H2SeO3 at a current d
ensity of 2.5 A/dm(2) was studied. It was found that the films reduce
hydrogenation of steel, the coating made of aniline and phenol copolym
er preventing hydrogen penetration into the metal almost completely.
