    STUDY RESULTS FROM YEREVAN STATE UNIVERSITY UPDATE UNDERSTANDING OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

    Journal of Engineering
    December 3, 2008

    "The possibilities of the synthesis of submicroll MoSi2 and MoSi2-Si3N4
    composite powders were investigated using inorganic salt-assisted
    combustion synthesis method. Combustion laws in the MoO3-3Mg-2Si-NaCl
    and Mo-5Si-NaCl-Si3N4-N-2 systems were studied," scientists in Yerevan,
    Armenia report.

    "The main factors influencing the combustion parameters, phase
    composition and microstructure of products for both these systems
    were determined experimentally. Optimum synthesis conditions of
    submicron MOSi2 and MoSi2-Si3N4 composite powders containing 30-40wt.%
    of molybdenum disilicide were determined. Compacting conditions for
    30wt.%MoSi2-70wt.%Si3N4 composite using the hot pressing technique
    were found. Compact samples 20mm in diameter were obtained," wrote
    K.V. Manukyan and colleagues, Yerevan State University.

    The researchers concluded: "Microstructure, phase and chemical
    compositions of the dense samples were studied."

    Manukyan and colleagues published their study in Chemical Engineering
    Journal (Molten salt-assisted combustion synthesis and characterization
    of MoSi2 and MoSi2-Si3N4 composite powders. Chemical Engineering
    Journal, 2008;143(1-3):331-336).
