STUDY OF KINETIC REGULARITIES OF HYDROGEN RELEASE DURING CORROSION OF STEEL 20 IN 1M H2SO4 SOLUTIONS

Abstract

The study of the kinetic regularities of the dissolution of iron and steels under cathodic polarization conditions is of interest both for the practice of cathodic and sacrificial protection of metal structures and for the development of fundamental concepts of corrosion processes at low electrode potentials. From a practical point of view, the study of processes of this kind is also important in connection with the fact that under the given conditions, the reaction of cathodic evolution of hydrogen occurs on the metal, which causes hydrogenation of the material.
