Abstract
The following possible conditions for the simultaneous formation of oxide and sulfide on iron in oxygen and sulfur-containing gases are considered: (7) simultaneous thermodynamic stability of oxide and sulfide; (2) temporal changes in gas composition; (3) intermediary cracking of the oxide film; (4) solubility and diffusion of sulfur in the oxide (lattice diffusion); (5) kinetic conditions for simultaneous oxide and sulfide formation at the scale-gas interface.
