Various effects which arose from self-stresses during H diffusion across metallic tabular membranes were considered. Up-hill diffusion in the initial state of permeation, changes in inner pressure (with time) of the steady distributions of H concentration and residual stress in membranes, and the acceleration of permeation rate upon interruptimg H-charging could be properly interpreted.
