“…11 It shows significant metal-like ductility at high temperatures due to its brittle-to-ductile transition around 900-1000 • C. It is believed that MoSi 2 can improve the fracture toughness of the infiltrated SiC materials. [12][13][14] However, temperatures of at least 2100 • C are necessary to infiltrate a material with this substance. This melting temperature can be reduced by addition of silicon and other substances, such as titanium, which has been proven earlier as a suitable choice, regarding high-temperature and oxidation behavior of the composite.…”
