Cyclic tensile response of Mo-27 at% Re and Mo-0.3 at% Si solid solution alloys

Optimizaton of Mo-Si-B Intermetallic Alloys

Mo-Si-B intermetallics consisting of the phases Mo3Si and Mo5SiB2, and a molybdenum solid solution (“ -Mo”), have melting points on the order of 2000 °C. These alloys have potential as oxidationresistant ultra-high-temperature structural materials. They can be designed with microstructures containing either individual -Mo particles or a continuous -Mo phase. A compilation of existing data shows...

Mo-Si-B alloys for ultrahigh-temperature structural applications.

A continuing quest in science is the development of materials capable of operating structurally at ever-increasing temperatures. Indeed, the development of gas-turbine engines for aircraft/aerospace, which has had a seminal impact on our ability to travel, has been controlled by the availability of materials capable of withstanding the higher-temperature hostile environments encountered in thes...

Mo-Si-B Alloy Development

Alloys consisting of the phases α-Mo (Mo solid solution), Mo3Si, and Mo5SiB2 (“T2”) were fabricated by ingot and powder metallurgy. A novel powder-metallurgical processing technique was developed which allows the fabrication of silicide alloys with a continuous α-Mo matrix. In these alloys the relatively ductile and tough α-Mo matrix acts as a “binder” for brittle silicide particles. An alloy p...

Ambient- to Elevated-Temperature Fracture and Fatigue Properties of Mo-Si-B Alloys: Role of Microstructure

Ambientto elevated-temperature fracture and fatigue-crack growth results are presented for five MoMo3Si-Mo5SiB2–containing -Mo matrix (17 to 49 vol pct) alloys, which are compared to results for intermetallic-matrix alloys with similar compositions. By increasing the -Mo volume fraction, ductility, or microstructural coarseness, or by using a continuous -Mo matrix, it was found that improved fr...
