Abstract

Compositionally-tailored, silica-free, MoSi2/SiC composites with SiC content ranging from 0 to 40 percent were synthesized through a novel processing scheme involving mechanical alloying and in-situ reactions for the formation of the reinforcement. Room temperature indentation fracture toughness and hardness measurements were obtained from these silica-free composites and were compared with values obtained from silica-containing, conventionally-processed MoSi2/SiC composites.
