Abstract
High-temperature sulfidation studies have been carried out on Fe-15Cr-4Al with and without 1% Y in the temperature range 700–1000°C in an H 2-H2 S environment over the sulfur pressure range of 10 −9−10−3 atm. Two-layered and three-layered sulfide scales were observed in both alloys at low and high sulfur pressures, respectively. The pegging phenomenon, similar to that occurring in high-temperature oxidation, across the innermost layer and substrate was observed in the case of the yttrium-containing alloy. Yttrium was found to be associated with aluminum and chromium sulfides. The role of yttrium was more evident at low than at high sulfur pressures and was found to reduce the parabolic rate constants by a factor of about one-half to one-seventh, respectively.
