Abstract

MoSi2 based composites possess significant potential as high temperature structural materials. The present investigation constitutes an initial study of the fabrication and properties of MoSi2/silicide alloys and SiC particle reinforced-MoSi2 /silicide alloy matrix composites. Alloying disilicides (WSi2, Nb5Si2, Ta5Si2 ) and trisilicides (Mo5 Si3, W5Si3, Nb5Si3, Ta5Si3, Ti5Si3 ) were examined. Results indicated that at the 50/50 mole % alloying level, MoSi2 formed solid solutions with the alloying disilicides. Reaction of the MoSi2 /TaSi2 alloy with SiC was observed. An initial assessment of 50/50 mole % disilicide alloy oxidation behavior suggested an oxidation resistance inferior to that of pure MoSi2.
