Abstract
This work shows an innovative sintering process for molybdenum disilicide (MoSi{sub 2}) and molybdenum silicide (Mo{sub 5}Si{sub 3}) in order to have a final nanometer-scale microstructure. Sintered MoSi{sub 2}-Mo{sub 5}Si{sub 3} was fabricated by microwave sintering. The final material showed a significant reduction of pesting phenomena for MoSi{sub 2}. The final microstructure is a mix of micrometer-scale MoSi{sub 2} and nanometer-scale Mo{sub 5}Si{sub 3} immersed in an amorphous SiO{sub 2} phase. This material was characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). - Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer We sintered the MoSi{sub 2}-Mo{sub 5}Si{sub 3} by microwave and obtained high final density material. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer We got a final nanostructured material. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer We inhibited pesting phenomenon for MoSi{sub 2}.
