Abstract
Experiments were performed to determine if oxygen is available on Type 304 stainless steel in a state which could cause oxidation of active metals during hydrogen exposure. A bakeable ultrahigh vacuum system was used in making measurements of hydrogen interaction with stainless steel. Mass spectra were taken throughout the experiments. The experiments indicated that stainless steel reacts in a hydrogen atmosphere to form water. This effect is greater at high than at low temperature. The stainless steel can be passivated by treating the surface with oxygen during heating to high temperature.Keywords
