I am designing a component that will be submersed in liquid sulfur inside of a storage tank. The component will remain submersed for years at a time. It will also, at times, be exposed to the air space above the liquid level which will contain H2S. I would like to make this part from Aluminum. What sort of corrosion should I expect while submersed? While exposed to the airspace?
