The influence of hydrogen on the electrochemical properties of selected types of stainless steel=Wpływ wodoru na właściwości elektrochemiczne wybranych gatunków stali nierdzewnych

Abstract The paper presents the results of the influence of electrolytic hydrogenation on the change of electrochemical properties of selected stainless steels and their susceptibility to the formation of galvanic hydrogen. It has been shown that the electrolytic hydrogenation of steel X5CrNi18-10 and X6Cr17 in the state of delivery, not only changes their corrosion resistance, but also contributes to the formation of galvanic hydrogen cells.
