Abstract
It is shown that the underpotential deposition of zinc on AISI 4340 steel and Inconel 718 alloys inhibits the hydrogen evolution reaction and the degree of hydrogen ingress. In the presence of monolayer coverage of zinc on the substrate surfaces, the hydrogen evolution current densities are reduced 46% and 68% compared with the values obtained on bare AISI 4340 steel and Inconel 718 alloy, respectively. As a consequence, the underpotential deposition of zinc on AISI 4340 steel and Inconel 718 alloy membrane reduces the steady state hydrogen permeation current density by 51% and 40%, respectively. © 1995 Chapman & Hall.
