Abstract

MoSi2/Al2O3 based composites have been obtained from S.H.S. reactions between aluminum, molybdenum trioxide, and silicon or silica. The very fast reaction begins just after the melting of aluminum. The heat released raises the reaction products to a maximum temperature, T(ad), high enough to allow their partial or total melting. The control of T(ad) is achieved by the addition of some MoSi2 or Al2O3 to the starting powders. The microstructure of the final product corresponds to many suicide domains dispersed in an alumina based matrix. The suicide domains are made of MoSi2 or Mo(Si,Al)2 grains surrounded by a Mo5Si3 phase The matrix is made of alumina grains with amorphous and/or mullite intergranular phases T(ad) value influences the nature and the distribution of phases inside the final product. Des composites à base de MoSi2 et de Al2O3 ont pu être obtenus par reaction S.H.S entre l'aluminium, le trioxyde de molybdène, et le silicium ou la silice. La réaction se déclenche après fusion de l'aluminium. Sous l'effet de la chaleur dégagée, les produits obtenus sont portés à une température maximale, T(ad), suffisante pour permettre leur fusion partielle ou totale. L'addition de MoSi2 ou de Al2O3 aux produits de départ permet de moduler T(ad). La microstructure des composites obtenus est constituée d'une matrice silico-alumineuse au sein de laquelle sont dispersés des domaines contenant des grains de MoSi2 ou de Mo(Si,Al)2 entourés de Mo5Si3. La matrice silico-alumineuse est elle-même constituée de grains d'alumine entourés d'une phase amorphe et/ou de mullite. La temperature adiabatique influe essentiellement sur la nature et la répartition des phases au sein du matériau final
