Abstract
The effect of preoxidation in H2/H2O and in dry H2 on the sulfidation resistance of Ni-20Cr-Al alloys with 2, 3.5, and 5 wt.% Al has been investigated. The samples were sulfidized 4 hr in H2/5% H2S at 750, 800, and 850° C. Best results were obtained for the Ni-20Cr-5Al alloy pretreated for 100 hr at 1000°C in dry H2. The sulfidation reaction in H2/5% H2S was retarded strongly by this treatment for a period of 4 hr at 850°C and of 15 hr at 750°C. Although less pronounced, preoxidation of alloys with lower Al contents or pretreatment in H2/H2O show positive effects as well.
