And their hardness and fracturetoughness were measured by the Vickers indentation fracture mode through an Hv-10A type sclerometer.The microstructure and morphology were investigated by a JSM-56001V scanning electron microscope.Results show that the addition of 50% WSi_2 (in mole fraction) has remarkable hardening andtoughening effects on the MoSi_2 matrix, whose hardness value and fracture toughness value areincreased about 60% and 86%, respectively. For WSi_2/MoSi_2 composite, the hardening mechanisms arefine-grain and the second phase particles strengthening, and the toughening mechanisms includefine-grain, grain drawing, crack deflection, microbridge and bowing toughening.展开更多
