An unsteady-state gas-liquid metal diffusion cell technique was used to determine the rates of absorption of H in stagnant liquid Fe and in several binary alloys. The rates were found to be controlled by the diffusion of H in the liquid phase, thus permitting the Arrhenius parameters to be calculated (table 45).
