Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2, or molybdenum silicide), an intermetallic compound, a silicide of molybdenum, is a refractory ceramic with primary use in heating elements. It has a moderate density (6.26 g/cm3), a melting point of 2030 °C, and is electrically conductive. Molybdenum disilicide micron powder has excellent friction, large active surface area, more adsorption capacity, high reactivity, and catalytic properties. Molybdenum disilicide and MoSi2-based materials are usually made by sintering. Plasma spraying can be used for producing its dense monolithic and composite forms; material produced this way may contain a proportion of β-MoSi2 due to its rapid cooling. Molybdenum disilicide is used in microelectronics as a contact material. It is often used as a shunt over polysilicon lines to increase their conductivity and signal speed. It can also be used in lubricant and composite applications and as a conductive filler.
Moreover, molybdenum disilicide heating elements can be used for temperatures up to 1800 °C in electric furnaces used in laboratories and production environments in the production of glass, steel, electronics, ceramics, and in heat treatment of materials. American Elements produces high-density, corrosion-resistant Molybdenum Disilicide (Moly-D) Heating Elements for use in industrial furnaces, ceramic firing, melting of metals and glass, sintering, and other applications. Heating elements composed of molybdenum disilicide can withstand temperatures of up to 1900°C in oxidizing environments by forming a surface layer of quartz; unlike silicon carbide heating elements, they maintain stable electrical resistivity over time. Our standard heating elements are available in various shapes and sizes: bent, straight, spiral, U and W, and multiple shanks. Custom shapes and sizes are also available by request. Molybdenum disilicide heating elements are generally immediately available in most volumes. American Elements also produces Molybdenum Disilicide as sputtering targets. Additional technical, research, and safety (MSDS) information is available.
