Abstract
Dense, layered, single- and graded-composition composites of MoSi2 and SiC were formed from elemental powders in one step, using the field-activated pressure-assisted combustion method. Compositions ranging from 100% MoSi2 to 100% SiC were synthesized, with relative densities ranging from 99% to 76%, respectively. X-ray diffractometry results indicated the formation of pure phases when the concentration of MoSi2 was high and the appearance of a ternary phase, Mo4.8Si3C0.6, when the concentration of SiC was high. Electron microprobe analysis results showed the formation of stoichiometric and uniformly distributed phases. A layer-to-layer variation in composition of 10 mol% was sufficient to prevent thermal cracking during formation of the layered functionally graded materials.
