Mo(Si,Al)^sub 2^-base oxidation-resistant coatings for Nb-base structural materials have been studied. The coating is composed of a Mo(Si, Al)^sub 2^-base Al reservoir and Al^sub 2^O^sub 3^ interlayer to suppress interface reactions between the Al reservoir and the substrate. To develop a suitable Al-reservoir material, some Mo(Si^sub 0.6^,Al^sub 0.4^)^sub 2^-HfB^sub 2^ composites were prepared. Their oxidation resistance and coefficients of thermal expansion were investigated, in addition to...
