Abstract
The corrosion behavior of pure Y and two Y-Al alloys containing 5 and 10 wt.% Al was studied over the temperature range 800-950°C in a H2/H2S H2O gas mixture. Both alloys had the two-phase structure of Y + Y2Al With the exception of Y-10Al, for which a kinetics inversion was observed between 800°C and higher temperatures (T≥850°C), the parabolic rate constants generally increased with increasing temperature, but decreased with increasing Al content. The scales formed on pure Y and the Y-Al alloys were single but heterophasic, consisting of mostly Y2O3 and minor Y2O2S. XRD results showed no evidence of A12O3 and pure sulfides. The formation of Y2O3 and Y2O2S on Y-10Al at 800°C resulted in a subsurface phase transformation from Y + Y2Al to YAl2 and broke the structural integrity of the scale, being responsible for the fast corrosion rate.
