Abstract

Isothermal oxidation tests were performed on Ir, Ir-3Hf, Ir/Pt, and Ir-3Hf/Pt in static air at 1100°C for 200h. The microstructural evolution and changes in the composition of the alloys were characterisation by performing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and field-emission electron probe microanalysis (FE-EPMA). The results indicated that the specimens of all the Ir-based alloys exhibited linear mass loss due to the formation/evaporation of gaseous Ir oxide species (mainly IrO3). The oxidation behaviour, including mass change kinetics, evaporation of gaseous IrO3, and the role of Hf and Pt are discussed.
