“…This drawback can be overcome by either using protection layers of silicon (Si), B, or by Mo-Si-B compounds. [2,3,4] In addition, the discussion includes oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels (austenitic [5,6] , ferritic [7,8] and ferritic-martensitic [9] ), directionally solidified NiAl-X (Cr, Mo) eutectics [10,11,12,13] , Co-Re alloys [14,15] , and silicon carbide (SiC) [16,17] or carbonfiber-reinforced silicon carbide (C/SiC). Within the current discussion of the "beyond Ni-base super alloys", the authors want to include tungsten laminates as a new innovative material system.…”
