MoSi2-Molybdenum disilicide

      Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi₂) has electrical conductivity. A silicon dioxide passivation layer can be developed on the surface of MoSi₂ under high temperature to prevent the further oxidation. The external appearance of MoSi₂ is grey compound with metal luster. MoSi₂ is the intermediate phase of Mo-Si binary alloy system with the highest content of silica. It has the characters of both metal and ceramic. MoSi₂ has good high temperature oxidation resistance, high temperature plasticity, heat-conductibility, electro-conductibility and mobility. And it has wide range of application in high temperature structural ceramics. MoSi₂ is mainly used as heating element, integrated circuit, high temperature oxidation resistant coating, and high temperature structural materials. As a structural material, MoSi₂ can be used in aviation, spaceflight, high-temperature components of automobile gas turbine. In the spherical spray domain, Molybdenum disilicide is core product.
