MoSi2 heating elements were fabricated by sintering of MoSi2 powders which were synthesized through SHS(Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis). Their high-temperature oxidation behavior in air through SHS(Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis). Their high-temperature oxidation behavior on air at 1000-1600$^{\circ}C$ was investigated through a high-temperature X-ray diffractomer and isothermal heating in a muffle furnace. The thermal expansion of MoSi2 and SiO2 was studied by measuring their lattice parameters on heating. The linear expansion coeffcient of MoSi2 along c-axis was about 1.5 times larger than that along a-axis showing a strong thermal anisotropy. Few $\mu\textrm{m}$-thick Mo5Si3 layer was found beneath SiO2 layer suggesting that The major reaction products would be SiO2 and Mo5Si3. The Si-rich bentonite resulted in the faster growth of MoSi2 grains probably by enhancing the mass transport when they are melted during high-temperature oxidation.

sothemal reduction at $50^{\circ}C$ using $Pt/MoO_3$ or $Pt/MoO_3/SiO_2$ made by dry impregnation or physical mixture of $Pt^{\circ}$ and $MoO_3$ demonstrated that the $H_2$ uptake vis $H_2$ spillover from Pt into $MoO_3$ was enhanced as calcination temperature was increased. Surface area of exposed Pt crystallites measured by CO chemisorption was decreased with higher calcination temperature. In addition, TEM showed that $MoO_x$ overlayers were formed on Pt crystallites after calcination at $400^{\circ}C$. Consequentially, it was found that this increased active contact sites between Pt and $MoO_3$ due to surface morphological change was one of the dominant factors for this increased $H_2$uptake via $H_2$ spillover from Pt crystallites into $MoO_3$.

The effect of spray deposition of oxide particles on oxidation behaviors of as-cast Mo-14.2Si-9.6B (at%) alloys at $1200^{\circ}C$ up to for 100 hrs has been investigated. Various oxide powders are utilized to make coatings by spray deposition, including $SiO_2,\;TiO_2,\;ZrO_2,\;HfO_2$ and $La_2O_3$. It is demonstrated that the oxidation resistance of the cast Mo-Si-B alloy can be significantly improved by coating with those oxide particles. The growth of the oxide layer is reduced for the oxide particle coated Mo-Si-B alloy. Especially, for the alloy with $ZrO_2$ coating, the thickness of oxide layer becomes only one fifth of that of uncoated alloys when exposed to in air for 100 hrs. The reduction of oxide scale growth of the cast Mo-Si-B alloy due to oxide particle coatings are discussed in terms of the change of viscosity of glassy oxide phases that form during oxidation at high temperature.

이규화몰리브덴 고온발열체의 제조공정을 개발하였다. 원료분말은 상용 MoSi$_{2}$분말이었으며 Bentonite, Si$_{3}$N$_{4}$, B, ThO$_{2}$를 각각 가소제와 첨가제로 사용하였다. 이들은 진공압출, 소결, 단자부 기계가공, U자형 성형, 용접 등의 과정을 거쳐 U자형 발열체로 제조되었다. 사용제품의 분석결과 최근 사용온도가 크게 증가된 것으로 알려진 190$0^{\circ}C$용 발열체는 다량(33wt%)의 W이 Mo을 치환하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 발열체의 전기비저항은 겉보기 밀도가 증가함에 따라 급격하게 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 첨가물들의 영향은 미미하였다. 1400-1$600^{\circ}C$에서 용접한 경우 용접면에서의 전기비저항은 비용접부보다 낮았으며 용접온도가 증사함에 따라 감소하였다. 발열시험결과 제조된 발열체는 표면온도가 1$700^{\circ}C$이하에서는 문제가 없었으며 175$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 원형의 융기가 표면에 발생하면서 급속하게 파괴되었다. 이 융기는 X-선 회절분석결과 SiO로 밝혀졌으며 따라서 발열체의 파괴는 MoSi$_{2}$/SiO$_{2}$계면에서의 Si(in MoSi$_{2}$) + SiO$_{2}$=2SiO(g)반응에 으해 일어나는 것으로 판단된다.

Mo(Ti) alloy and pure Cu thin films were subsequently deposited on $SiO_2-coated$ Si wafers, resulting in $Cu/Mo(Ti)/SiO_2$ structures. The multi-structures have been annealed in vacuum at $100-600^{\circ}C$ for 30 min to investigate the outdiffusion of Ti to Cu surface. Annealing at high temperature allowed the outdiffusion of Ti from the Mo(Ti) alloy underlayer to the Cu surface and then forming $TiO_2$ on the surface, which protected the Cu surface against $SiH_4＋NH_3$ plasma during the deposition of $Si_3N_4$ on Cu. The formation of $TiO_2$ layer on the Cu surface was a strong function of annealing temperature and Ti concentration in Mo(Ti) underlayer. Significant outdiffusion of Ti started to occur at $400^{\circ}C$ when the Ti concentration in Mo(Ti) alloy was higher than 60 at.%. This resulted in the formation of $TiO_2/Cu/Mo(Ti)\;alloy/SiO_2$ structures. We have employed the as-deposited Cu/Mo(Ti) alloy and the $500^{\circ}C-annealed$ Cu/Mo(Ti) alloy as gate electrodes to fabricate TFT devices, and then measured the electrical characteristics. The $500^{\circ}C$ annealed Cu/Mo($Ti{\geq}60at.%$) gate electrode TFT showed the excellent electrical characteristics ($mobility\;=\;0.488\;-\;0.505\;cm^2/Vs$, on/off $ratio\;=\;2{\times}10^5-1.85{\times}10^6$, subthreshold = 0.733.1.13 V/decade), indicating that the use of Ti-rich($Ti{\geq}60at.%$) alloy underlayer effectively passivated the Cu surface as a result of the formation of $TiO_2$ on the Cu grain boundaries.

Effect of $H_2$ spillover rate as functon of calcination temperature on reaction kinetics was evaluated. Reaction kinetics including yield, conversion and selectivity of 1-butene isomerization over $Pt/HxMoO_3/SiO_2$ were measured as reaction temperature was increased. While conversion of 1-butane was decreased, yield of iso-butene was increased. Two kinds of reaction mechanism were proposed from the change of selectivity as function of temperature.

This paper describes the machining characteristics of the MoSi$_2$--based composites through the process of electric discharge drilling with various tubular electrodes. In addition to hardness characteristics, microstructures of Nb/MoSi$_2$laminate composites were evaluated from the variation of fabricating conditions, such as preparation temperature, applied pressure, and pressure holding time. MoSi$_2$-based composites have been developed in new materials for jet engines of supersonic-speed airplanes and gas turbines for high-temperature generators. These high performance engines may require new hard materials with high strength and high temperature-resistance. Also, with the exception of grinding, traditional machining methods are not applicable to these new materials. Electric discharge machining (EDM) is a thermal process that utilizes a spark discharge to melt a conductive material. The tool electrode is almost -unloaded, because there is n direct contact between the tool electrode and the work piece. By combining a non-conducting ceramic with more conducting ceramic, it was possible to raise the electrical conductivity. From experimental results, it was found that the lamination from Nb sheet and MoSi$_2$ powder was an excellent strategy to improve hardness characteristics of monolithic MoSi$_2$. However, interfacial reaction products, like (Nb, Mo)SiO$_2$and Nb$_2$Si$_3$formed at the interface of Nb/MoSi$_2$, and increased with fabricating temperature. MoSi$_2$composites, with which a hole drilling was not possible through the conventional machining process, enhanced the capacity of ED-drilling by adding MbSi$_2$, relative to that of SiC or ZrO$_2$reinforcements.

The mechanical properties of $MoSi_2$ based composites containing various types of reinforcement, such as SiC, $ZrO_2$, and W, were investigated, based on detailed examinations of their microstructures. $MoSi_2$ based composites were fabricated at a temperature of $1350^{\circ}C$ using a hot-press device. The volume fraction of SiC and $ZrO_2$ particles in this composite system was fixed as 20%. The volume fraction of three types of W particles was changed from 10% to 30%. The characteristics of the $MoSi_2$ based composites were determined by means of optical microscopy and a three-point bending test. The addition of W particles to the $MoSi_2$ powders exhibited a sufficient improvement in the microstructure and mechanical property of the sintered $MoSi_2$ materials, compared to those of SiC and $ZrO_2$ particles. In particular, W/$MoSi_2$ composites containing W particles of 20 vol% represented a good flexural strength of about 530MPa at room temperature, accompanying a relative density of about 92%. The flexural strength of the W/$MoSi_2$ composites tended to decrease with an increase in the average size of the W particles.
