Abstract

AbstractWe review the current development status of molybdenum borosilicide (Mo-Si-B) alloys for ultra-high temperature applications in air. The assessment of several ingot and powder metallurgy approaches revealed that (i) the presence of a continuous Mo solid solution matrix is mandatory for adequate low temperature toughness and (ii) wrought processing of such alloys at temperatures established for refractory metals requires the presence of an ultrafine (sub-micron) microstructure. Both prerequisites could be fulfilled using mechanical alloying (MA) as the crucial processing step , however, values for the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) below 800°C could not be obtained due to grain boundary embrittlement by Si segregation. First results on the effect of different microalloying additions on a reduction of this segregation exemplified for the Mo solid solution will be presented and discussed.
