BS>Embrittlement of steel produced from electrolytic charging in H/sub 2/ O and D/sub 2/O solutions is discussed. A comparison of the retention of embrittlement with retained gas content in uncoated steel is given. The separation factor for the electrodeposition of hydrogen and deuterium on SAE 4130 steel was found to be 5.9. Permeation of the mixture of these isotopes through steel results in further enrichment with respect to hydrogen. The diffusion coefficients and permeation rates for hydrogen and deuterium in steel are compared. (auth)
