Some conventional stainless steels (316; 409; 410 and 430) were used as anode and cathode in electrolysis process. Further study was carried out on the corrosion trend in all the investigated metals. It is observed that the electrode material can effect on the amount of hydrogen generate by electrolyzing process and metal composition of the stainless steels effects on the rate of corrosion. Keywords Corrosion behaviour; Stainless steels; Electrolyzing Introduction Over the past years, it is becoming more likely that the emphasis on cleaner fuel will lead to the use of hydrogen in a significant way. Hydrogen is a chemical element with chemical symbol H and atomic number 1 with an atomic weight equal 1.00794, hydrogen is the lightest element on the periodic table. Its monatomic form (H) is the most abundant chemical substance in
