The effect of second phase properties on the compression creep behavior of MoSi2 composites

  • 1. Michigan Univ., Ann Arbor, MI (United States). Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering

Description

In an effort to enhance the toughness and creep strength of MoSi2, the role of various metallic and ceramic reinforcements is examined. In this paper the effects of an oxide, a carbide and a nitride reinforcement on the compression creep behavior of MoSi2 are explored. Variations in the deformability of reinforcements and their relative strength and flaw population appear to influence the creep strength of the composites. Refinements in grain size also improve crack tolerance of the composite during deformation at 1200 degrees C
