Surface Oxidation Mechanisms of Molybdenum Disilicide in High-Temperature Combustion Environments
Keyword(s):
AbstractThe stability of MoSi2 was studied at 1600°C in combustion products with an incoming gas to air ratio of 1:6.7 and compared to results in a 1:10 environment. Oxidation was investigated using periodic weight measurements and characterization using XRD, SEM, and EDS. Passive oxidation was observed; MoSi2 was oxidized by H2O and CO2 to form Mo5 Si3 and SiO2. The amorphous silica product formed a surface layer and reduced the oxidation rate as it coarsened. MoO3(g) did not form which was in agreement with the thermodynamic (SOLGASMIX-PV) prediction that it would only form in the presence of molecular oxygen. A good agreement was observed between the measured and calculated weight gains based on the surface layer thickness.
