Abstract
The surface layers formed on quenched and tempered 40HM (0.4C-Cr-Mo) steel by nitriding (chemical and phase composition being a result of base metal a lloying) and by deposition of TiN (layer, totally different from core) prod uced the complex effect on corrosion and hydrogen action. The correlation b etween the rate of general and pitting corrosion, the hydrogen uptake and t ransport with the different stages of the stress corrosion cracking have be en discussed.
