Alloys of the quasi-binary LaB6-MoB2 system synthesized by melting in an
atmosphere of helium have been studied. It has been established that the
phase diagram of the system is eutectic and the phases do not interact. The
eutectic colony crystallizes in form of the platelike eutectic on the basis
of the LaB6 crystal of a cubic structure. It has been also shown that the
crystallization from melt under conditions of crusibleless zone melting is
accompanied by the MoB2 phase decomposes during cooling with precipitation of
the submicron Mo2B5 and α-MoB crystallites. This results in an increase of
hardness. According to the Mo - B phase diagram, the decomposition
temperature of the MoB2 increases with increasing the boron content. In
addition, the degree of the decomposition is higher if the melting point of
alloy is higher, since the intensity of diffusion process increases at high
temperatures.
