Abstract

A thermobalance for studies of the high-temperature sulfidation of metals and alloys is described. This apparatus permits the determination of mass changes in a sulfidized sample as a function of temperature and sulfur vapour pressure. The main parts of this apparatus are the container with liquid sulfur and the reaction chamber with the quartz space and quartz spiral. All parts of the apparatus are equipped with thermostating furnaces. The temperature within the apparatus is controlled with an accuracy of 0.5 K. The quartz spiral (diameter 0.2 mm), consisting of 50 coils (diameter 30 mm), permits the recording of mass changes in the sample (about 200 mg) with an accuracy of 10-5 g.

Besides heterogeneous kinetics measurements, it has been shown that the self- and chemical diffusion coefficients or the deviation from stoichiometry of the metal sulfides can also be studied as functions of temperature and sulfur pressure by means of equilibration measurements.
