Abstract

Polarization and permeation experiments showed that a monolayer coverage of lead (Pb) effectively inhibited the hydrogen (H) evolution reaction and H penetration through type 718 (UNS N07718) alloy. Observed inhibition effects were a result of the kinetic limitations of the H discharge reaction and suppression of H absorption on the deposited monolayer. H evolution reaction and H permeation rates were reduced by approximately 67% and 70%, respectively.
