Molybdenum diilicide MoSi2 a form of intermediate phase has the highest silicon content within Mo-Si binaural alloy. This is a Dalton intermetallic compound. The material is high in temperature and exhibits excellent performance. It has both the characteristics of metal as well as ceramic. MoSi2 exhibits good resistance to high temperatures, with a oxidation resistant temperature as high at 1600. It is very similar to SiC. It exhibits moderate density (6.24g/cm3). Low thermal expansion coefficient (8.1×10-6 K-1), high electrothermal conductivity (good), and ceramic-like hardness, brittleness, and lower brittle-ductile temperature (1000). It has a soft plasticity that is metal-like and exceeds 1000. MoSi2 is used primarily as a heating element, integrated circuit and high temperature oxidation resist coating.
MoSi2 contains silicon and molybdenum bonded with metal bonds. In MoSi2, silicon and silicon can also be connected using covalent bonds. Molybdenum is a gray, tetragonal molybdenum. It cannot be dissolved in all mineral acids except aqua regia, but it can be dissolved in a mix of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid. It can be used to heat in high-temperature oxidation environments (1700) due to its excellent oxidation resistance.

What’s Molybdenum Disilicide used for?
In high temperature antioxidation coatings, electric heating elements and integrated electrode films, molybdenum diicides are used. Specifically:
Chemical industry for energy: high temperature heat exchangers in atomic reactor devices and gas burners. High temperature thermocouples with their protective tubes. Melting vessel crucibles are used to melt sodium, lead, bismuth and other metals.
Industries in microelectronics: MoSi2 is an important material for interconnect film and gate materials of large-scale integrated Circuits.
High temperature anti-oxidation coatings for aerospace industry. This material was the subject of extensive research. It is used as a material for components of turbine engines such as blades. impellers. burners. tail nozzles. sealing devices.
Automotive Industry: Engine parts, turbochargers, valve bodies and spark plugs.

Are there any restrictions on MoSi2?
MoSi2 is soft at low temperatures (below 1000°C), which indicates that the material becomes more plastic when heated up to higher temperatures.
The material is also susceptible to creeping at temperatures higher than 1200°C.
