Abstract

A Mo-Si-B-O alloy was obtained by spark plasma sintering (SPS) using fine Mo-62Si-5B (at.%) alloy powder (with a D50 size of 2.21 μm). The SPS Mo-Si-B-O pseudo alloy consisted of fine MoSi2/Mo5Si3/MoB/SiO2 microstructure and showed better oxidation resistance than the coarsened microstructure. The SiO2 that was pre-formed during SPS and the fine microstructure reduced the incubation stage of formation of continuously protective borosilicate layer, which is beneficial to the oxidation resistance. A “Mechanical locking” mechanism for the borosilicate layer by spilling of the pre-formed SiO2 decreased cracks in the borosilicate-substrate interface, increased interface strength and integrity of the borosilicate layer.
