Abstract
In this study, a molybdenum disilicide (MoSi 2) coating process was investigated by hydrogen reduction and Si-pack cementation. At first, the metallic Mo coating was carried out by hydrogen reduction of MoO 3 powder at 750°C for various holding times (1, 2, 3 h) in hydrogen atmosphere. A 4.3μm thick metallic molybdenum thin film was formed at 3h. MoSi 2 was obtained by Si-pack cementation on molybdenum thin film through hydrogen reduction processing. It was carried out using Si: Al 2O 3: NH 4Cl = 5 : 92 : 3 (wt%) packs at 900°C for various holding times (30, 60, 90 min) in Ar atmosphere. When the holding time was 90 min, a MoSi 2 layer was coated successfully and a 15.4 μm thickness was observed.
