The effects of four different oxidation processes on the oxidation behavior, phase components, microstructural properties and thermodynamic parameters of a Cu-9Al-5Ta HTSMA were investigated through DTA / TG, XRD, SEM-EDX and DSC analysis measurements. The oxidation processes were performed at different temperatures, including 700, 800, 900, and 1000°C, and it is found that the surface oxidation reached saturation after 900°C, and thus the oxidation constant did not increase. After oxidation, various phases, such as α(9R), β_1^' (18R), γ_1^' (2H), γ_2 (〖Cu〗_9 〖Al〗_4) and 〖Ta〗_2 〖Al〗_3 phases, were determined that their intensity varied with changing temperature. However, the fact that α(9R) and 〖Ta〗_2 〖Al〗_3 phases, which are rich in the amount of Ta elements, are difficult to diffuse with oxygen caused these phase intensity to be high. It was observed that surface oxide layers formed with increasing temperature caused to grow and expand the martensite and α(9R) phases. Additionally, the change in the steady-state of the α (9R) phase with increasing temperature also caused local changes in the chemical composition. It was observed that these expanding phases forced the oxide layer and formed oxide structures in the form of swelling and splitting on the surface. The DSC analysis showed that the martensite transformation temperature range and thermodynamic parameters do not affect the presence of martensite transformations, although they show small changes with oxidation. However, the elastic energies exhibited irregular behavior due to the heat energy transferred to the alloy. The change in phase structures with increasing oxidation changed the crystallite size.
