Abstract
A method for enhancing the oxidation resistance of substrates fabricated from metallic molybdenum and alloys containing at least 50% molybdenum which comprises depositing silicon on the surface of the substrate under conditions which cause the formation of an outer layer of MoSi . Also disclosed is a method for enhancing the oxidation resistance of other substrates, such as carbon-carbon and metals and alloys which show minimal reaction with molybdenum under the coating conditions, which comprises depositing a layer of molybdenum on the surface, then depositing silicon on the molybdenum layer under conditions which cause the formation of an outer layer of MoSi .
