Abstract The oxidation behavior of iridium-based intermetallics in the ternary iridium-aluminum-silicon system has been investigated. Additions of up to 20 at. % silicon to iridium-aluminum binary alloys reduce the aluminum concentration necessary for the formation of a protective alumina scale from greater than 55 at.% in the absence of silicon to as low as 20 at.% when 20 at.% silicon is present. Ternary iridium-aluminum-silicon alloys with 30–50 at.% aluminum and 8–10 at.% silicon exhibit parabolic oxidation behavior, and the rate constants are in good agreement with those previously determined for binary iridium-aluminum alloys. The oxidation rate of ternary iridium-aluminum-silicon alloys with 10 at.% silicon and 30–40 at.% aluminum deviates from the parabolic-oxidation behavior for alumina scale growth in the later oxidation stage, presumably due to the formation of a silica inner layer. Thermal cycling of the Ir-50 Al-8Si and Ir-60-Al samples does not result in scale spallation due to the coefficient of thermal expansion match between the alumina scale and intermetallic substrate.
