Popis: Molybdenum carbosilicide composites (SiC-Mo ≤5 Si 3 C ≤1 ) were fabricated via the melt-infiltration process. The fracture behavior of the composites was studied from room temperature up to 1800°C in 1 atm (∼10 5 Pa) of argon. The bend strength of the composites slightly increased at ∼1200°C, because of the brittle-ductile transition of the intermetallic phase. The composites retained ∼90% of their room-temperature strength, even at 1700°C. Compressive creep tests were performed over a temperature range of 1760°-1850°C and a stress range of 200-250 MPa. The creep rate of the SiC-Mo ≤5 Si 3 C ≤1 composites was approximately an order of magnitude higher than that of reaction-bonded SiC.
