Molybdenum diilicide MoSi2 a type intermediate phase with the highest level of silicon in Mo-Si binaural alloy system. It is a Dalton intermetallic compound of fixed composition. It has both the characteristics of metal and ceramic. It’s a high temperature material with outstanding performance. MoSi2 exhibits good resistance to oxidation at high temperatures. The oxidation temperature can reach 1600. This is very similar to SiC. It has moderate density (6.24g/cm3). It also has low thermal expansion coefficient (8.1×10-6 K-1), good electrical conductivity, and ceramic hardness and brittleness lower than the higher, brittle-ductile temperature (1000). It exhibits a soft plasticity that is metal-like above 1000. MoSi2 can be used as a heating element or integrated circuit. It also has high temperature oxidation resistance coatings and high-temperature structural material.
MoSi2 contains silicon and molybdenum bonded with metal bonds. In MoSi2, silicon and silicon can be connected by covalent bond. Molybdenum disilicide is gray tetragonal. It is insoluble with most mineral acids (including aqua regia), but it can be dissolved by a mixture of hydrofluoric and nitric acids. It is very resistant to oxidation and can be used as heating element in high-temperature oxidation environments (1700).

What’s Molybdenum Disilicide used for?
Molybdenum diicide is used for high temperature antioxidation coatings, electric heating element elements, integrated electrode film, structural materials, reinforcers and wear-resistant material, bonding materials of structural ceramics, and structural materials. Specifically:
Energy chemical industry: Electric heating elements, high heat exchangers of nuclear reactor devices, gas burners. High temperature thermocouples with their protective tubes. Melting vessel crucibles (for melting tin, sodium, lead, bismuth and other metals).
Industries in microelectronics: MoSi2 is an important candidate material for large-scale interconnect and gate films of large-scale integrated Circuits.
Aerospace industry: The application and research into high temperature antioxidation coating materials has been extensive. It is used as a material for components of turbine engines such as blades. impellers. burners. tail nozzles. sealing devices.
Automotive industry: engine parts, turbochargers, valve bodies and spark plugs.

What restrictions does MoSi2 impose?
MoSi2 is very soft at temperatures below 1000°C. This means it will become plastic at higher temperatures.
It is also susceptible to creeping at temperatures exceeding 1200 degrees Celsius.
