Sulfidation may occur even in an overall oxidizing environment beneath a corrosion product which assumes the role of a diffusion barrier allowing sulfur species transport at a faster rate when compared with that of oxygen species. The current paper presents sulfidation characteristics of an advanced single-crystal nickel-based superalloy (ANS) and compares performance with IN 792 and CMSX-4 superalloys. The results showed that all the superalloys were highly vulnerable to sulfidation and their lives were significantly reduced. Among them, the ANS was more susceptible to sulfidation and its life was reduced considerably. This is attributed to the changed chemistry of the advanced alloy. The results for ANS are compared with its oxidation data and the difference in its behavior is discussed. A degradation mechanism, which represents the deterioration of ANS under sulfidation conditions, is proposed based on the results obtained from different techniques. Finally, the necessity of protective coatings for shielding against high temperature sulfidation for potential application in enhanced efficiency of gas turbine engines is emphasized.
