Effect of SiC and ZrO2 on Low Temperature Oxidation Resistance of MoSi2 Nanocomposites

Article Preview

Abstract:

The single and synergism effect of SiC and ZrO2 nanoparticles on low temperature oxidation resistance of MoSi2 were investigated by thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), phase and micrograph analysis of surface film. The results show that at the oxidation temperature of 600°C, the addition of 10%ZrO2 results in obvious oxidation mass gain of MoSi2, and discontinuous protective film forming on the surfaces, which makes “pesting” phenomenon still occur. The addition of 10%SiC accelerates the oxidation of MoSi2, but compact SiO2 protective film formed on the surface after some time of oxidation, avoiding the occurrence of large scope of “pesting” phenomenon. The synergism of 10%ZrO2 and 10%SiC promotes the formation of compact, even silicate glass film on the surface of MoSi2, as a result, significantly improves the low temperature oxidation resistance of MoSi2.
