What is molybdenum silicide?
Molybdenum silicate is a popular electric thermal element material with high-temperature oxidation resistance, excellent corrosion resistance, and a high melting point. The radius of the two molybdenum atoms is not very different, and the electronegativity is relatively close, similar to that of metal and ceramic. Molybdenum disilicate is conductive and can form a silica passivation layer on the surface at high temperatures to prevent further oxidation. Molybdenum silicate is a Dalton-type intermetallic compound with a fixed composition. With the dual characteristics of metal and ceramic, it is a high-temperature material with excellent performance. The high-temperature oxidation resistance of molybdenum silicate makes its oxidation temperature above 1600℃, good electric thermal conductivity, and high brittle transition temperature (1000℃) below the ceramic hard brittle.
Main uses of molybdenum silicide
Molybdenum silicate has a high melting point, low density, good thermal conductivity, and good electrical conductivity, excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance, high elastic modulus, low thermal expansion coefficient, high strength, chemical corrosion resistance, and good thermal shock resistance, is widely used in high-temperature heating element materials and high-temperature antioxidant coating materials, is a very development potential of high-temperature structure materials and wear resistance material; molybdenum silicate as a high-temperature antioxidant coating, has been widely and in-depth research and application. In particular, materials used as turbine engine components, such as blades, impellers, burners, tail nozzles, and sealing devices.
The development history of molybdenum silicon
Molybdenum silicate was discovered in 1906 that silicon and molybdenum could form, and molybdenum disilicate under different conditions. Among the three kinds of molybdenum silicate, the most important is molybdenum disilicate, a Dalton-type intermetallic compound. The atomic combination in the crystal structure shows the coexistence of metal and covalent bonds and has excellent essential characteristics of high temperature. In 1907, molybdenum disilicate was used as a high-temperature anticorrosive coating material for metals, and the molybdenum electrothermal element appeared in the 1950s. Molybdenum disilicate as a structural material was first proposed in the early 1950s. Still, it was not valued until the 1970s, with the emergence of brittle materials as structural materials. In the 1980s, a leap forward took place, and its research work was widely carried out around the world.
