1. A method for producing an oxidation resistant multi-layered structure, the method comprising:
(a) exposing a Mo—Si—B alloy substrate or a substrate having a Mo—Si—B alloy surface character to a vapor comprising silicon and annealing the substrate to form a layer of MoSi2 on the substrate; and
(b) annealing the MoSi2 layer to produce an outer borosilicate layer, an intermediate layer comprising molybdenum disilicides, molybdenum silicides, or combinations thereof, and an inner borosilicide layer, wherein the inner borosilicide layer is integrated with the substrate.
