Molybdenum disilicide composites

摘要

Molybdenum disilicide/beta'-Si6-zAlzOzN8-z, wherein z=a number from greater than 0 to about 5, composites are made by use of in situ reactions among alpha-silicon nitride, molybdenum disilicide, and aluminum. Molybdenum disilicide within a molybdenum disilicide/beta'-Si6-zAlzOzN8-z eutectoid matrix is the resulting microstructure when the invention method is employed.
