Abstract
MOLYBDENUM disilicide is of particular importance in the field of high-temperature materials, both as a structural material in its own right and as an oxidation resistant coating for molybdenum alloys. Apart from having a high melting point of 2,000° C (ref. 1) and good oxidation resistance up to 1,700° C, MoSi2 possesses high-temperature mechanical properties which make it adequate for many applications under static high-temperature oxidizing conditions2.
