The sulfidation behavior of five Ni-Mo-Al ternary alloys and two Ni-Al binary alloys was studied over the temperature range 600-800{degree}C in sulfur vapor of 10{sup {minus}2} atm. The effect of sulfur pressure was also investigated at P{sub S{sub 2}} = 10{sup {minus}2} and 10{sup {minus}4} atm. using two Ni-Mo-Al alloys. The sulfidation of all Ni-Mo-Al and Ni-Al alloys followed the parabolic rate law. The sulfidation rate decreased with increasing Al content for a given Mo content for Ni-Mo-Al alloys. Two binary alloys, Ni-13.5Al and Ni-31Al, sulfidized at comparable rates to Ni-30Mo-7.5Al, which has excellent sulfidation resistance.
