MoSiBTiC alloys are promising candidates for next-generation ultrahigh-temperature materials. However, the phase diagram of these alloys has been unknown. We have developed an ultrahigh-temperature thermal analyser based on blackbody radiation that can be used to analyse the melting and solidification of the alloy 67.5Mo-5Si-10B-8.75Ti-8.75 C (mol%). Furthermore, electromagnetic levitation (EML) was used for in-situ observation of solidification and microstructural study of the alloy. On the basis of the results, the following solidification pathway is proposed: Mo solid solution (Mo-ss) begins to crystallize out as a primary phase at 1955 degrees C (2228 K) from a liquid state, which is followed by a (Mo-ss+TiC) eutectic reaction starting at 1900 degrees C (2173 K). Molybdenum boride (Mo2B) phase precipitates from the liquid after the eutectic reaction; however, the Mo2B phase may react with the remaining liquid to form Moss and Mo5SiB2 (T-2) as solidification proceeds. In addition, T-2 also precipitates as a single phase from the liquid. The remaining liquid reaches the (Mo-ss+T-2+TiC) ternary eutectic point at 1880 degrees C (2153 K), and the (Mo-ss+T-2+Mo2C) eutectic reaction finally occurs at 1720 degrees C (1993 K). This completes the solidification of the MoSiBTiC alloy.
