Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to the production of a new ceramic composite material containing molybdenum disilicide in the form of 20-60 μm grains. The method involves preparation of an exothermic mixture containing silicon, molybdenum (VI) oxide, aluminium and molybdenum with the following ratio of the components (wt %): ______________________________________ silicon 29-38 molybdenum (VI) oxide 7-42 aluminium 3-16 molybdenum 13-52 ______________________________________ its heat treatment in a combustion mode, followed by compaction of the obtained combustion products by way of at least two-stage compression with a degree of deformation from 0.75 to 0.90 at each stage, at a temperature within 1500° to 1900° C.
