Refractory metal-based Mo-Si-B alloys have long been considered the most promising candidates for replacing nickel-based superalloys in the aerospace and energy sector due to their outstanding mechanical properties and good oxidation of the Mo-silicide phases. In general, the addition of vanadium to Mo-Si-B alloys leads to a significant density reduction, while small amounts of titanium provide additional strengthening without changing the phase evolution within the Moss-Mo3Si-Mo5SiB2 phase field. In this work, high-energy ball milling studies on Mo-40V-9Si-8B, substituting both molybdenum and vanadium with 2 and 5 at. % Ti in all constituents, were performed to evaluate the potential milling parameters and investigate the effects of Ti doping on the milling characteristics and phase formation of these multicomponent alloys. After different milling durations, the powders were analysed with regard to their microstructure, particle size, oxygen concentration and microhardness. After heat treatment, the silicide phases (Mo,V)3Si and (Mo,V)5SiB2 precipitated homogeneously within a (Mo,V) solid solution matrix phase. Thermodynamic phase calculations using the CALPHAD method showed good agreement with the experimental phase compositions after annealing, confirming the stability of the observed microstructure.
