CONCLUSIONS
The present work investigates the forming mechanism of oxides in the Pt-based alloys Pt Al M (M = Cr,

Hf, Pt, and Ta) in terms of thermodynamic calculations with experimental verifications. The presently
predicted Ellingham diagrams indicate the metals Hf and Al are easy to oxidize, followed by the metals Ta
and Cr, while Pt is extremely difficult to oxidize in terms of thermodynamics. Oxidation experiments are
characterized by XRD and EPMA, verifying the present thermodynamic predictions and showing that the
best alloy with superior oxidation resistance is Pt Al Cr followed by Pt Al by forming the dense and
