Molybdenum Disilicide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Molybdenum Disilicide (MoSi2) Sputtering Targets (Size:2'' ,Thickness:0.250'' , Purity: 99.95%)  which has the chemical formula of MoSi 2  is a refractory ceramic with primary use in heating elements. It has moderate density and is electrically conductive. At high temperatures it forms a passivation layer of silicon dioxide, protecting it from further oxidation. It is insoluble in most acids but soluble in nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid. Molybdenum Disilicide (MoSi2) Sputtering Targets  is a promising candidate material for high temperature structural applications. It is a high melting point (2030 °C) material with excellent oxidation resistance. However, low toughness at low temperatures and high creep rates at elevated temperatures have hindered its commercialization in structural applications. Molybdenum disilicide-based heating elements have been used extensively in high-temperature furnaces. The low electrical resistance of silicides in combination with hig...
