Corrosion of metallic structure materials at elevated temperatures in complex multicomponent gas environments is a potential problem in many fossil energy systems, especially those using coal as a feedstock. The use of appropriate corrosion-resistant coatings on metallic components can minimize material degradation and extend component life. In the present study, the chemical compatibility of a number of coatings is examined by exposing them to simulated oxygen/sulfur mixed-gas environments at metal temperatures of 500 and 650{degree}C. Coatings were developed via pack cementation and electrospark deposition techniques on T22 and T91 substrates. The oxidation/sulfidation test results for the coated specimens were compared with those for the uncoated alloys and for high-chromium structural alloys of interest in fossil energy applications. Coatings tested were Fe--Cr--Mo. Alloys tested include nickel base, nickel, and chromium alloys, and stainless steel 310. 5 refs., 12 figs., 2 tabs.
