Abstract
The distribution of substitution alloying elements in the structure of hexagonal silicide Nb5Si3 of the γ-modification, which serves as a reinforcing phase of the composite, and in the Nb solid solution matrix of a high-temperature natural composite based on Nb–Si is studied. Studies were carried out on samples in a cast state and after homogenizing thermal treatment. A structural model of the γ-modification of silicide Nb5Si3 is constructed. On the basis of the crystal-chemical analysis of the structure of hexagonal silicide, possible causes of phase instability of the composite after thermal treatment are revealed.
