High-Temperature Corrosion Rates of Several Metals with Hydrogen Sulfide and Sulfur Dioxide
Year: 1952
Type: article
Abstract: The corrosion rates at temperatures above 1000°K were determined for several metals including copper, silver, Inconel, nickel, 18‐8 stainless steel, iron, tungsten, molybdenum, and tantalum in atmospheres of hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide. This was done by increase in electrical resistance of the metals in the form of filaments 0.010 inch in diameter. The metals most easily corroded in were Inconel, iron, copper, and stainless steel, whereas tungsten, molybdenum, and tantalum offered the most resistance. Inconel is very resistant to , whereas tungsten, tantalum, and molybdenum are easily corroded. Carbon monoxide increases the corrosion rate of nickel in hydrogen sulfide, whereas the corrosion rate of iron is decreased in the presence of carbon monoxide.
