MoSi{sub 2}, SiC, and MoSi{sub 2}-SiC composites were prepared by the thermal explosion mode of self-propagating, high-temperature synthesis (SHS), from elemental powders Mo, Si, and carbon. The products were characterized using chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The morphology of MoSi{sub 2} in the product points out that it is in the molten state at the combustion temperature. SiC in the composite shows a very fine particle morphology. These results are supported by the earlier thermochemical calculation carried out on this system.
