Abstract

Monolithic MoSi2 and MoSi2-TiC particulate composites with 10 vol % and 15 vol % TiC were tested in compression between 950°C and 1200°C. The MoSi2-TiC composites can be deformed plastically at lower temperatures than MoSi2 can before brittle fracture occurs. The composites exhibit much lower strain hardening rates and attain zero strain hardening rate at much lower strains than monolithic MoSi2. The differences between the composites and monolithic MoSi2 in plasticity and in strain hardening behavior is attributed to efficient dislocation generation into the matrix from sources at the MoSi2-TiC interfaces.
