Synthesis and densification of MoSi{sub 2} by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis

Conference ·
OSTI ID:175558
The possibility of producing dense MoSi{sub 2} by the thermal explosion mode of Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis(SHS) was demonstrated. It was shown that the density of MoSi{sub 2} produced by SHS process without applied pressure can be increased by a proper combination of processing parameters such as heating rate, addition of alloying elements, processing atmosphere, and Mo and Si powder sizes used. The heating rate and alloying elements were found to influence the density Of MoSi{sub 2} formed the most. Proper combinations of the processing is parameter yielded MoSi{sub 2} with density close to 90% theoretical density which comparable to pressurelessly sintered MoSi{sub 2}.
