AZ91D magnesium composites reinforced by Ti3SiC2 MAX phase were fabricated the stir casting technique. Tensile tests reveal that effects of and Ti2AlC on Mg matrix are different. Unlike Ti2AlC-AZ91D composite for which delamination happens during fracture, Ti3SiC2-AZ91D fractures interfacial debonding mechanisms. Transmission electron microscopy characterization shows few nanometric grains form...

To enhance the absorption performance of silicon carbide fiber (SiCf), hybrid fibers with a double shell structure (Ti3SiC2 and carbon nanotubes (CNTs)) on SiCf ([email protected]3SiC2@SiCf) were successfully synthesized by combination molten salt method floating catalytic chemical vapor deposition. A series 10% weight fraction reinforced paraffin samples was prepared to study coating influence...

Ti3SiC2-SiC multilayer film coatings synthesis was investigated with the high temperature reactive chemical vapor deposition technique. The method consists of a reaction between SiC (as substrate and interlayers) H2-TiClx gaseous mixture. Cross-section morphologies phases were studies by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) automated crystal orientation mapping in transmi...

The electronic structures of the MAX-phases Ti3AlC2, Ti3SiC2 and Ti3GeC2 were investigated by soft X-ray emission spectroscopy. These nanolaminated carbide compounds represent a class of layered materials with a combination of properties from both metals and ceramics. The bulksensitive soft X-ray emission technique is shown to be particularly useful for detecting detailed electronic structure i...

MAX phases exhibit excellent combination of ceramic and metallic-like properties. In this work, phase Ti3SiC2 powder was synthesized starting-off with different combinations elemental powders carbides. The used were Ti, Si, C, SiC TiC in combinations, molar ratios size. Powders heat treated on a vacuum furnace for times temperatures situ production the phase. High purity samples analyzed by X-r...

The paper presents the microstructural characterization of chip roots in high-speed steels and ceramic Ti3SiC2. process formation obtaining adequate samples were carried out using quick-stop method. tests during milling process; “quick stop” method was order to obtain roots. This developed in-house by authors. microscopically studied means a light microscope (LM) scanning electron (SEM). Before...
