Renewable Design for Raw Materials - Molybdenum Disilicide Pieces – Rich

Molybdenum Disilicide (MoSi2) is a promising candidate material for high temperature structural applications. It is a high melting point (2030 °C) material with excellent oxidation resistance and a moderate density (6.24 g/cm3). It is insoluble in most acids, but soluble in nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid. The radii of the two kinds of atoms are not much different, the electronegativity is relatively close, and they have properties similar to those of metals and ceramics. Molybdenum Disilicide is conductive and could form a passivation layer of silicon dioxide on the surface at high temperatures to prevent further oxidation. It is used in the fields of high-temperature anti-oxidation coating materials, electric heating elements, integrated electrode films, structural materials, composite materials, wear-resistant materials, structural ceramic connecting materials and other fields.

Molybdenum Disilicide could be applied in a wide range of industries: 1) Energy and chemical industry: MoSi2 is used as electric heating element, high temperature heat exchanger of atomic reactor device, gas burner, high temperature thermocouple and its protection tube, smelting vessel crucible (used for smelting sodium, lithium, lead, bismuth, tin and other metals) . 2) Microelectronics industry: MoSi2 and other refractory metal Silicides Ti5Si3, WSi2, TaSi2, etc. are important candidates for large-scale integrated circuit gates and interconnections. 3) Aerospace industry: MoSi2 as a high-temperature anti-oxidation coating material, especially as a material for turbine engine components, such as blades, impellers, combustion chambers, nozzles and sealing devices, has been widely and in-depth Research and application. 4) Automobile industry: Molybdenum Disilicide MoSi2 is used in automobile turbocharger rotors, valve bodies, spark plugs and engine parts.
