Abstract
Methods of enhancing oxidation resistance and methods of making molybdenum alloys are provided. In these methods, alloys are prepared by the addition of silicon and boron in amounts defined by the area of a ternary system phase diagram bounded by the points Mo-1.0%Si-0.5%B, Mo-1.0%Si-4.0%B, Mo-4.5%Si-0.5%B, and Mo-4.5%Si-4.0 B. The methods utilize rapid solidification followed by consolidation at below the melting point. The resultant alloys have mechanical properties similar to other high temperature molybdenum alloys while possessing a greatly enhanced resistance to oxidation at high temperature.
