Abstract
A method for producing a substantially silica-free composition of matter comprising a matrix of MoSi.sub.2 having SiC dispersed therein, the matrix being reinforced with a particulate ductile refractory metal, the method comprising providing a composite of the particulate ductile refractory metal and a substantially silica-free composite mechanical alloy powder comprising MoSi.sub.2 and SiC having a composition in that segment of the ternary diagram of FIG. 1 designated A, and consolidating the composite of particulate ductile refractory metal and mechanical alloy powder; the coefficient of thermal expansion of the MoSi.sub.2 matrix having SiC dispersed therein being substantially equivalent to that of the particulate ductile refractory metal. The composition of matter formed by the method and an article of manufacture comprising the same are also disclosed.
