ДИФФУЗИОННОЕ ВЗАИМОДЕЙСТВИЕ СИЛИЦИДОВ МОЛИБДЕНА СО СПЛАВОМ Э110
In this work, the kinetics of diffusion interaction of the molybdenum silicides Mo5Si3 + MoSi2 alloy with the zirconium-based E110 alloy is experimentally investigated. The structure and phase composition of diffusion couples subjected to vacuum annealing at 1100, 1200, and 1300°C for 3, 6, and 9 hours have been studied by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. In the entire investigated range of temperatures and durations of annealing, zirconium silicides are formed as a result of diffusion interaction at the interface between the molybdenum silicides and zirconium. The silicon diffusion into zirconium is the main diffusion process during the interaction between the zirconium-based alloy and the molybdenum silicides. Signs of the diffusion of the zirconium into molybdenum silicides were not found, the diffusion of molybdenum into zirconium is significantly limited. The features of the structure and chemical composition of silicide phases formed in the region of diffusion interaction have been revealed. A comparative analysis of the microstructure of the regions of diffusion interaction of silicides Mo5Si3 and MoSi2 with a zirconium alloy is carried out. The effective kinetic parameters of the diffusion interaction at different temperatures, as well as the parameters of the temperature dependence of the effective parabolic constant of the growth of the layer of intermediate phases, arising during the annealing of diffusion couples, are determined.
