Abstract

Compositionally tailored MoSi2/SiC composites with silicon carbide content ranging from 0 to 60 volume percent were synthesized through a novel processing scheme involving the mechanical alloying of elemental molybdenum, silicon, and carbon. The effects of important processing parameters such as the nominal powder composition and the processing temperature on the microstructural evolution during mechanical alloying and subsequent heating are described based on the results obtained from DTA and XRD.
