Abstract

Hot-pressed and arc-melted Mo76Si14B10 (at. pct) exhibits α-Mo solid solution, Mo3Si, and Mo5SiB2 in microstructures with varying morphologies. Cyclic oxidation tests performed at oxygen partial pressures of 0.21 and 1 atm show the mass loss of the hot-pressed alloy to be ≈1.5 and ≈4 times less, respectively, than that of the arc-melted alloy. The thickness of the protective silicate layer increases with an increase of both Moss grain size and oxygen partial pressure in the environment.
