Ni-20Cr alloys with 2, 3.5, and 5 wt% Al have been preoxidized up to 100 hr at 1,000C in dry H{sub 2}, in H{sub 2}/23% H{sub 2}O an in air and subsequently exposed to an H{sub 2}/5% H{sub 2}S atmosphere at 750C. During the preoxidation treatment different types of oxide scales were formed which affect the sulfidation protection in different ways. Optimum results were obtained for alloys with 3.5 and 5 wt% Al after 20 hr exposure to dry H{sub 2} at 1,000C. A thin Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} scale is formed which decreases the sulfur attack by more than one order of magnitude. Preoxidation conditions for Ni-20Cr-2Al alloys in H{sub 2} and for Ni-20Cr-2Al and Ni-20Cr-3.5 Al in H{sub 2}/H{sub 2}O were observed to be less effective. No improvement was found for preoxidation in air or for Ni-20Cr-5 Al alloys preoxidized in H{sub 2}/H{sub 2}O.
