摘要

Mo-12Si-8.5B (Mo-Si-B) alloys doped with different mass fractions (0.3 wt%, 0.6 wt%, and 0.9 wt%) of lanthanum oxide (La2O3) were prepared by liquid-liquid (L-L) doping, mechanical alloying and hot pressing sintering techniques. The observation of the microstructures of the Mo-Si-B alloys reveals that the grain sizes of the alloys were refined with the increase in La2O3 doping. The fracture toughness values of the alloys of over 10 MPa m(1/2) reveal that the addition of La2O3 via the L-L doping method can obviously improve the alloy fracture toughness compared to the alloys doped with La2O3 via the solid-solid (S-S) doping method. In addition, compression tests indicate that the compression strength of the alloys was improved compared to Mo-12Si-8.5B alloys.
