Functionally graded MoSi2-Al2O3 tubes for temperature sensor application.

Conference ·
OSTI ID:975115
MoSi{sub 2} and Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} are thermodynamically stable elevated temperature materials whose thermal expansion coefficients match closely. Composites of these materials have potential for applications such as protective sheaths for high temperature sensors. MoSi{sub 2}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} functionally graded tubes were fabricated using advanced plasma spray-forming techniques. Both continuously-graded and layered-graded tube microstructures were synthesized. The characteristics of the graded microstructures and the features of the graded mechanical properties of these tubes will be discussed.
