Abstract  Hydrogen permeation behavior and its effect on cracking mechanism of X65 steel under cathodic polarization were studied in artificial seawater by means of electrochemical hydrogen permeation test and slow strain rate test (SSRT). Results show that the calcium magnesium deposits formed on the steel during cathodic polarization would significantly decrease the hydrogen diffusion coefficient; the effective hydrogen diffusion coefficient (Deff) was calculated by Fourier method, modified Laplace method and time-lag method respectively, which give an average value 1.49×10-7 cm2s-1; the hydrogen concentration (C0) in the sub-surface of the steel showed an exponential relationship with the polarized potential; the crack propagation was influenced by the synergistic effect of anodic dissolution and hydrogen evolution under the “soft” polarization conditions; however, if the polarized potentials were extremely negative, the concentration of hydrogen would increase sharply, as a result, the X65 steel became sensitive to hydrogen embrittlement.
Key words:  cathodic polarization      X65 steel      hydrogen permeation      hydrogen embrittlement
