Abstract

In an effort to enhance the toughness and creep strength of MoSi2, the role of various metallic and ceramic reinforcements is being examined. In this work, the effects of an oxide, a carbide and a nitride reinforcement on the compression creep behavior of MoSi2 are explored. Variations in the deformability of reinforcements and their relative strength and flaw population appear to influence the creep strength of the composites. Refinements in grain size also improve crack tolerance of the composite during deformation at 1200°C.
