dc.description.abstract
In lubricated tribo-contacts, hydrogen ingress in steel is possible due to chemical reactions of lubricant components like base oils or additives, and/or contamination upon service particularly water, and/or corrosion processes, and/or electrostatic fields or current flow. Absorbed by the metal, atomic hydrogen may cause serious deleterious effects on the physical-chemical and mechanical properties, reducing the material's ability to withstand the design loads. The present research work is focused on analyzing the influence of electric field on lubricating oils in contact with steel surface. In order to evaluate the possibility of atomic hydrogen generation and permeation into the steel under cathodic polarization of lubricating oils the electrochemical permeation technique developed by Devanathan and Stachurski is used. The input cell of a Devanathan-Stachurski set up is appropriately modified by realizing a very close distance between the working electrode (steel membrane) and a Pt counter electrode with the oil between. This significantly increases the sensibility of the set up and allows the application of larger voltage and higher temperature to enable hydrogen generation from lubricating oils. The complex effects of cathodic polarization, temperature, additives and presence of water in model lubricating oils on atomic hydrogen permeation into steel is discussed.
