Reversed bending fatigue tests in sea water under the impressed current cathdic protection were carried out. The lower the electrochemical potential the higher the fatigue limit, and in spite of a large quantity of absorbed hydrogen, no deterioration of the fatigue strength was observed. It is supposed that the distortion of the lattice structure produced by the absorbed hydrogen is favorable to the fatigue. Relations between potential, cathodic current and applied stress were also considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
