Abstract
High strength steel samples were analysed by N-15 nuclear reaction analysis in order to detect hydrogen that may have been introduced by electroplating process. The NRA signal decreased during exposure of the ion beam and residual gas analysis showed that the gas was desorbed by the beam interaction. The variable hydrogen signal could be well described as the sum of a constant concentration and a fraction susceptible to second order desorption. A mechanically polished bevel allowed measurements to be extended to a depth of 0.2Â mm.
