Abstract

Isothermal and cyclic oxidation studies have been carried out on (80–90) wt.% Mo-(8–17) wt.% Cr-(0.5–3) wt.% Pd alloys in atmospheres of both air and pure oxygen at temperatures between 1000 and 1250°C. The Pd additions decreased the oxidation rate with the most pronounced effect being observed for an alloy of 80 wt.% Mo-17 wt.% Cr-3 wt.% Pd. Palladium played a major role in providing the necessary oxidation protection by accelerating the formation of Cr2O3 layers at low Cr concentrations. Contrary to the behavior of most metals, an increase in oxidation resistance with increase in temperature was observed. Although the alloy systems were not truly oxidation resistant, definite improvement in oxidation resistance was achieved. The oxidation mechanism of Mo-Cr-Pd alloys is described.
