Abstract
MoSi2, because of its mixed covalent-metallic atomic bonding, is a borderline intermetallic compound which has many attractive properties that can be exploited in high temperature structural applications . Foremost amongst these is its stability in corrosive atmospheres up to about 1600 C . However, there are a few undesirable prooperties that need to be addressed before it can become a viable material in high temperature applications . Since MoSi2 forms thermodynamically stable composites with both metals and ceramics, many reinforcing materials are incorporated into the matrix to improve the fracture toughness and creep properties . The low temperature oxidation can be controlled by compaction to high density . Mo(Al, Si)2, a related ceramic, which also has good high temperature properties besides having better low temperature toughness . However, presence of Mo5Si3 phase, which has low oxidation resistance, needs to be controlled . This is being achieved by synthesizing Mo(Al, Si)2 at as low a temperature as 1300 C. This article summarizes important attempts that are made in improving the properties of MoSi2 by reinforcement with other materials .
