Abstract

Abstract Polarization and permeation experiments showed that a thin layer of electroplated bismuth (1 μm to 2 μm) inhibited the evolution and penetration of hydrogen through nickel-chromium alloy 718 (UNS N07718) and type 4340 (UNS G43400) steel. Inhibition effects were due to the kinetic limitations of the hydrogen discharge reaction and to the suppression of hydrogen adsorption on the deposited layers. The hydrogen evolution reactions on alloy 718 and type 4340 steel were inhibited by 28% and 85%, respectively. The hydrogen permeation rates through these alloys were reduced by 76% and 65%, respectively.
