Thermodynamic Evaluation for the Synthesis of T2 Phase from Elemental Powders via In Situ Reactively Hot-Pressing

Abstract:

T2 phase(Mo5SiB2) is a key component of the two Mo-Si-B tri-phase alloys under hot research. However, there is little research on T2 phase, especially its mechanic characteristics, due to the difficulty of fabrication of pure T2. In this present work, the thermodynamics of an advanced technology to fabricate pure T2 phase i.e. IRHP (In-situ Reactively Hot-Pressing) using elemental powders was analyzed. Formation free enthalpies at different temperatures for the compounds in Mo-Si-B system were calculated. Adiabatic temperatures and molten fractions of T2 phase at different initial temperatures for the reaction of synthesizing T2 phase were evaluated. The results show that it is feasible to in-situ synthesize T2 phase from elemental powders. T2 phase can not be synthesized using SHS(Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis) mode of combustion. On the contrary, the explosion mode of combustion (IRHP) is receivable. Adiabatic temperature and molten fraction of T2 phase are relevant to initial temperature.
