Abstract
A single and double layer formed by thin films coatings of aluminium oxide, zirconium oxide and titanium oxide were deposited over 304 stainless steel surface by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis technique. The steel samples were conformed for tensile tests. The purpose of these layers is to reduce hydrogen embrittlement effect in steel. An electrochemical cell was used in hydrogen charged, where a low concentration of sulfuric acid is utilized like electrolytic solution. Tension trials show the change the fracture type in samples with or without coating after hydrogen charged. The embrittlement percent factor and SEM micrographs indicate a reduction of hydrogen permeation for coated samples with double layer.
