Tóm tắt

Ultrafine MoSi2 powders were prepared by SHS reaction from the elements (under an Ar pressure of 5 atm) followed by optimized diminution process and chemical dispersion (hot alkali etching). Raw SHS products (cakes) were found to contain tetragonal MoSi2 and an admixture of Mo4.8Si3C0.6. Chemical dispersion of ground product yielded MoSi2 powders in the form of porous agglomerates. The precipitates containing 50% MoSi2 and 50% K2MoO4 were separated from etching solutions. The size of MoSi2 particles was below 100 nm.
