Abstract

The mechanism of sulfidation of Fe-Cr alloys ranging from 8 to 97 wt.% chromium was determined from studies of scale structures, surface morphologies of scale, and reaction kinetics. Although the kinetics of sulfidation were quite similar to those previously determined by Mrowec et al., the structures in the present work were different, being triplex in nature. The growth mechanism of each layer was determined, and the overall sulfidation behavior was compared to the oxidation behavior. Many similarities between the two corrosion processes were observed.
