Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The melting point of Tungsten disilicide is over 430 °C at 760 mm Hg.
Executive summary:

The melting point of tungsten disilicide was determined by Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) method.

As there was no endothermic peak observed up to 430 °C when the test item was heated in presence of nitrogen, the melting point of the test item is considered to be > 430 °C at normal atmospheric pressure (760 mm Hg).
