Structure evolution and thermodynamics analysis of MoSi2 during mechanical alloying

Characterization of in situ α-Mo/Mo5SiB2 nanocomposite produced by mechanical alloying

“…Since Si has significantly smaller atomic radius than Mo, the lattice parameter of Mo decreases by alloying with Si. The formation of substitutional solid solution of Si in Mo has been reported in the literature [37,43,50]. According to mentioned discussions, it can be concluded that Mo(Si,B) solid solution can be formed after 10 h of milling.…”

“…The synthesis of nanocrystalline alloys and intermetallic compounds by ball milling has been successfully achieved by several researchers [29][30][31][32][33].While many studies on MA for the Mo-Si binary system [34][35][36][37][38][39] have been reported, there is very little information about the synthesis of the Mo-Si-B ternary system by MA process.…”

Structural characterization of MoSi2 synthesized by high-energy mechanical milling followed by annealing heat treatment

“…The metallic radius of Mo and Si is 0.1363 and 0.132 nm, respectively. So when Si atoms dissolve in the Mo lattice, the Mo reflection peaks will shift to larger angles [12]. Since no major shift in the Mo peak positions was observed, it can be concluded that no reciprocal solid solution has occurred.…”

Synthesis of α-Mo–Mo5SiB2–Mo3Si nanocomposite powders by two-step mechanical alloying and subsequent heat treatment

“…These materials include amorphous, nanocrystalline and quasicrystals materials, rare earth magnets and intermetallics [39][40][41][42][43]. The milling of binary Mo-Si system has been reported in the many literatures [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53], however, the literatures describing the mechanical alloying of ternary Mo-Si-B system are a few [54,55].…”
