Abstract

MoSi2 based composites represent an important new class of “high temperature structural silicides”, with significant potential for elevated temperature structural applications in the range of 1200–1600 °C in oxidizing and aggressive environments. The properties of MoSi2 which make it an attractive matrix for high temperature composites are described and the developmental history of these materials traced. Latest results on elevated temperature creep resistance, low temperature fracture toughness, and composite oxidation behavior are summarized. Important avenues for future MoSi2 based composite development are suggested.
