Abstract

To improve the high temperature properties, platinum can be hardened by solid solution and/or oxide particles. The investigated alloy, dispersion hardened platinum-5% rhodium (Pt-5%Rh DPH), was produced via melting and subsequent annealing of the semi-finished product in order to obtain an oxide particle dispersion. Despite the relatively large oxide particles formed in this process, the creep strength is much higher in comparison to conventional Pt-5%Rh. The aim of this paper is to study the strengthening mechanisms in the alloy Pt-5%Rh DPH by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The size distribution of oxide particles shows a bimodal distribution, and the average oxide particle diameter is 315 nm for particles larger than 150 nm. For particles between 25 nm and 150 nm the average diameter is 49 nm. The size ranges of oxide particles are not substantially affected by high temperature creep deformation, but particles of <25 nm evolve during high temperature creep. It was found that all particles of different size ranges interact with dislocations and hence contribute to the strengthening of Pt-5%Rh DPH. Dislocation forests are pinned on the surface of oxide particles larger than 150 nm in diameter. Dislocation pile ups form between particles with a size range of about 500 nm. Medium size and small particles of diameters between 50 nm and 10 nm act as obstacles to single dislocations through backside pinning.
