Its current applications, chiefly limited to heating elements, can be expanded if its properties are judiciously combined with those of other materials like SiC or Al to produce ceramic- and metal-matrix composites with improved mechanical, thermal, functional, or even multifunctional properties. This review presents a perspective on the feasibility of manufacturing ceramic- and metallic-based MoSi2 composite materials. A comprehensive discussion of the pros and cons of current liquid-state and solid-state processing routes for MoSi2 metal-matrix composites and the resulting typical microstructures is presented. Although MoSi2 has been studied for more than five decades, it was not until recently that industrial applications demanding high temperature and cor...
