This invention discloses a high-temperature, high-strength
molybdenum alloy with an in-situ self-healing
antioxidant film and its preparation method, relating to the field of high-temperature
alloy thermal protection technology. The
antioxidant molybdenum alloy comprises a
molybdenum alloy substrate and an
antioxidant coating on its surface. During high-temperature oxidation, a layer composed of MoO3, Ta2O5, and RE is formed on the surface of the molybdenum
alloy substrate. m TaO n The resulting dense
oxide layer protects the substrate; the antioxidant
coating has at least a two-layer structure, containing RE. m TaO n The phases (Mo,Ta)Si2 and (Mo,Ta)5Si3 have at least RE in their outer
layers. m TaO n The molybdenum alloy contains a (Mo,Ta)Si2 phase and at least an (Mo,Ta)5Si3 phase in the inner layer. The preparation method involves mixing Mo, Ta, and
rare earth elements in a specific ratio, pressing and
sintering to obtain a molybdenum alloy
ingot, and then subjecting the
ingot to
silicon infiltration with a
silicon-infiltrating agent. This invention combines matrix alloying and
surface modification to produce a molybdenum alloy with excellent high-temperature
oxidation resistance, meeting the requirements for high-temperature applications up to 2000℃.
