Abstract: Fe-20%Ni-25%Cr alloys were aluminized through the pack-cementation technique by immersing them in the pack that consisted of the source metal, an activator, an inert filler. After aluminized Fe-20%Ni-25%Cr alloys were corroded at 800 oC for 10-100 hr in (0.9448 atm N2 + 0.031 atm H2O + 0.0242 atm H2S)-mixed gas condition. Pack-cementation is a good surface treatment technique for development of corrosion resistance coating to be utilized at high temperature corrosive condition. The corroded test coupons were characterized by a scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometer (EDS), an electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA), an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) with Cu-Kα radiation. The aim of this study is to study the microstructural transformation of the pack-cementation aluminized coating before and after corrosion. Pack-cementation aluminized in the formation of Fe3Al intermetallic compound layer on the matrix. The Fe3Al intermetallics have reasonable corrosion and oxidation-resistance, because of the aluminized coating corroded mainly to α-Al2O3 through the selective oxidation of Al in the outer Fe3Al coating.
