摘要: Hydrogen diffusivity was estimated in three different eutectoid rail steels (C-Mn, Cu-Mo and Ni-Cu-Cr) at ambient temperatures using the technique of sub-surface microhardness profiling after cathodic hydrogen charging 0.5mol/l sulphuric acid a current density 0.1A/cm2 for 24 hours. The increase concentration certain depth below surface related to this location as compared bulk value. procedure used obtain diffusion coefficient from profiles is discussed. values all were found be similar (of order 10-13m2/sec). steel lower than pure iron (10-8m2/sec). Possible reasons difference are
