Conclusions
At temperatures of 600°C and higher the mixed oxide (W0.5Mo0.5)O3 is reduced with the starting uniform distribution of tungsten and molybdenum being retained in the end product, which is due to a single mechanism being operative in the process. As a result, a virtually homogeneous alloy is formed. At 400–600°C the reduction of tungsten and molybdenum from the mixed oxide involves two different structural mechanisms, which brings about a regrouping of the metals, disturbs their uniform starting distribution, and hence lowers the degree of homogeneity of the end product.
