Abstract

Corrosion tests in 12 model environments simulating the composition of soil electrolytes at different levels of current density has been made. For the best comparative analysis, the ionic strength of the electrolyte has been proposed to be used as the characteristic indicator. The inversion of the corrosion rate under the action of an alternating current is found, which exhibits an inhibitory effect in the environment containing sulfate ions. It is shown, that with the decrease of the pH level, the intensification of hydrogen release is observed
and the danger of hydrogen embrittlement of steel is increasing
