Abstract

Spark Plasma Sintering technique was applied to fabricate MoSi2 and MoSi2-bentonite coatings on molybdenum. The phase composition, morphologies and anti-oxidation properties of the coatings at 1500 °C were investigated. Penetrated cracks generated in MoSi2 coating after SPS while the composite coating was crack-free because of the reduction of CTE mismatch. Cracks existed in the silica layer of MoSi2 coating after oxidation while the silica layer of bentonite-containing coating showed dense and crack-free morphologies. Compared with MoSi2, the composite coating possessed thinner Mo5Si3 diffusion layer and silica layer, exhibiting less loss of substrate and coating with improved oxidation resistance.
