The combined effect of some inorganic inhibitors - chromate and nitrate - on the rate of localized corrosion of iron and nickel was investigated. The efficiency of these inhibitors and the mechanism of their effect were found to depend on the potential. If the breakdown potential is lower than the second passivation potential, the corrosion rate decreases owing to the competitive adsorption of inhibitor and of aggresive ions and owing to a change in the activation energy of the metal dissolution. Substances that are strongly adsorbed on the electrode act in this region as strong inhibitors. In the range of the second passivation potential there operates another mechanism consisting in a favourable effect of the water molecules in the inhibitor hydration sphere on the rate of the passivation reaction. In this range, even such substances that are only weakly adsorbed on the electrode can act as strong inhibitors.

Abstract The rate of hydrogen penetration through 8640 steel exposed to an H2S-CO2-H2O environment was shown to depend on concentration of the hydrogen sulfide, structure of the steel and condition of the surface through which the emerging hydrogen passed. Greater penetration rate resulted from an increase in corrodent concentration and from a decrease in martensitic structure. Surfaces coated with iron sulfide film were found to retard penetration by hydrogen to a significantly greater extent than mechanically prepared surfaces.
