Thermochemical calculations were carried out for the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) of SiC-particulate-reinforced MoSi[sub 2] composites. These composites can be prepared using the elemental powders of Mo, Si, and C by SHS. Adiabatic temperatures were calculated at different initial temperatures for the reactions forming MoSi[sub 2], SiC, and their composites. Amounts of liquid phase of MoSi[sub 2] formed at various temperatures and mole ratios were computed.
