Investigating the heat treatment effects on phase transformations and coating morphology in the Cr-Pt coated system

The Cr-Pt system has been extensively studied in recent decades with the aim of providing a reliable thermodynamic description of the phases shown in the equilibrium phase diagram. The Cr-Pt coated system where Pt layers were deposited onto Cr substrates is investigated in this study with particular interest in the formation of Cr-Pt phases and coating morphology as a function of coating thickness and heat treatment parameters (temperature and time). The main aim of this research was to produce the coated system with properties which can be tailored according to the conditions required by their particular application. The system was investigated using several complementary techniques.
