Abstract

The addition of Cr to (Mo0.85Nb0.15)Si2 crystals significantly improves the thermal stability of the lamellar structure composed of C11b–MoSi2 and C40–NbSi2 phases. Analysis using electron microscopy indicates the segregation of Cr atoms at the C40/C11b lamellar interface. This leads to a decrease in the lattice misfit strain at the interface and better thermal stability of the lamellae.
