Effects of hydrogen on the structure of electrodeposited Cr films have been investigated by combining X-ray diffraction and thermal desorption spectroscopy, systematically varying the plating conditions. A large amount of hydrogen was dissolved at high current densities in a Cr-rich bath at low temperatures, and caused structural changes from bcc to hcp and fcc hydrides with increasing hydrogen concentrations. Hydrogen dissolved in regular interstitial sites in the hcp and fcc hydrides desorbed at $100 C, but its certain fraction remained as bubbles and desorbed at >800 C leaving dimples on the surface.

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.
