Abstract
In this study, Mo-14Si-10B and Mo-57Si-10B (at%) elemental powders were separately milled using an attritor mill. Mechanically alloyed powders were agglomerated and annealed. Then, powders of Mo-Si-B as alloyed (with composites) and agglomerated (without composites) were plasma sprayed onto plain carbon steels. The samples, both coated and non-coated, were subjected to isothermal oxidation tests. Metallurgical characteristics of powders and coatings were evaluated by SEM and XRD. Plasma-sprayed Mo-Si-B coatings (with phases of MoSi2, Mo5Si3, MoB and Mo5SiB2) greatly improved the oxidation resistance of the plain steel substrates, but plasma-sprayed Mo-Si-B coatings (without any phases) did not significantly improve the oxidation rate of substrates. Also, the kinetics and composition of the oxide-scale have been found to depend on the alloy composition.

Abstract
In this study, pure powders such as molybdenum, silicon, aluminum and titanium carbide were utilized to produce MoSi2 compound, MoSi2 /20 Vol % TiC composite, MoSi2-x Al alloyed compound and MoSi2-x Al/20 Vol % TiC alloyed composite. The initial powders were mixed in specified ratios, and then, were activated by mechanical milling. Milled powders were compacted, synthesized and sintered in the temperature range of 1100 -1400 oC. SEM was used to investigate the microstructural change and XRD for identification of phases. Effect of aluminum addition on phase formation was investigated. Addition of aluminum by over 9 atomic percent resulted in the formation of Mo(Si,Al)2 in alloyed matrix.
