A model of electrochemical processes near a crack tip in a stressed metal subjected to corrosion with hydrogen depolarization is suggested. It is shown that, in order to describe the kinetics of hydrogenation of the prefracture area, it is necessary to take into account the type of passivation layer on the newly formed metal surface near the crack tip and the mechanism of its formation.
