Multi phase alloys at the Mo-rich end of the Mo-Si-B system have drawn recent attention because of their high temperature performance capabilities. Previous studies on two- and three-phase alloys have confirmed the central role of the Mo-rich solid solution phase in affecting creep resistance and low-temperature toughness in these multiphase alloys. Thus, it is important to understand the intrinsic mechanical response of the matrix solid solution. In this study, compression and tensile tests were conducted over a nominal strain rate regime spanning 10-4 s-1 to 10-7 s-1 and temperature ranging from 1000°C to 1300°C in vacuum on a Mo-Si-B solid solution alloy (Mo-3Si-1.3B in at.%) that contained a low fraction (~5 %) of the T2 phase. The microstructure of the deformed specimens was examined to elucidate the underlying deformation mechanisms.
