Plating processes introduce more deuterium into steel from heavy water solutions than hydrogen from ordinary water solutions, yet hydrogen embrittles steel more than deuterium. No simple relation between the total gas content and embrittlement was found. Embrittlement appears to be dependent on factors other than the total gas content. The difference in the chemical affinity of steel for hydrogen and deuterium is discussed. (P.C.H.)
