Abstract
Available information on the thermodynamic stabilities of transition metal silicides is summarized and is used to demonstrate the calculation of the stability of silicide‐metal mixtures. The cause of the outstanding oxidation resistance of certain silicides is analyzed, and the results are used to predict high oxidation resistance for several untested disilicides. Thermodynamic and structural arguments are applied to the prediction of compositions of thermodynamically stable and oxidation‐resistant cermets.Keywords
