Abstract
Suggested are basic principles for fabrication of fine MoSi2 powders by SHS process with a reduction stage. Investigated was the influence of green composition, stoichiometric ratio, inert NaCl additive, and synthesis conditions on the structure/properties of thus fabricated MoSi2 powders. With increasing amount of added NaCl, the mean size of MoSi2 crystallites was found to decrease. The fabricated MoSi2 powders represented the agglomerates formed by the crowds of smaller (200 nm) and larger (up to 1–3 μm) particles. The powders were characterized by SEM, XRD, and chemical analysis.
