- Abstract
High temperature corrosion of a Pt-30 wt.% Rh alloy in a phosphorizing gas was isothermally investigated at 1285 K using a gas switching technique. Diffusion of P into the alloy created an outer layer of Pt-rich liquid and blocky (Pt, Rh)2P precipitates along with an inner layer of fcc and (Pt, Rh)2P plates in a cellular microstructure. Concentration profiles measured by SEM-WDS and EPMA across the layers at room temperature showed that there were three fcc phases: first was a 12 at.% Rh phase in the outer layer; second was a 37 at.% Rh phase in the cellular microstructure; and third was the initial 43 at.% Rh alloy. Also, the EPMA data registered approximately 0.1 at.% P in fcc of these layers. Based on the surrounding binary phase diagrams and the experimental data obtained in this study, a partial Pt-Rh-P phase diagram was constructed. A diffusion path for the corrosion microstructure was drawn on the partial phase diagram to help develop a step by step model for how the microstructure evolved. Growth kinetics of the inner layer were used to calculate a P diffusivity of about 10−12 m2/s in the Pt-Rh alloy at 1285 K, suggesting rapid diffusion by either an interstitial or interstitialcy mechanism.
