“…For example, a logarithm of hydrogen permeability (equal to a hydrogen absorption rate multiplied by a steel thickness) almost linearly decreases with a rise in potential in alkaline solution 9) as well as in neutral solution with H 2 S. 10,11) A hydrogen concentration at the steel surface is fixed in a quite short time after the hydrogen absorption condition charged, a logarithm of hydrogen concentration increases linearly with an increase in a steel hardness as well as in a reverse of diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in the steel, and the hydrogen concentration decreased with a rise of cathodic potential but slightly increased with a rise of anodic potential. 12,13) Many researches on hydrogen absorption including these ones were generally conducted in aqueous solutions. However, the high-strength steel frequently suffers HE during atmospheric corrosion, so that it is also important to accumulate the information on hydrogen absorption relating to the weather conditions like temperature and humidity.…”
