The synthesis of the Ti2AlN-based material by means of the mechanical activation (MA) of the Ti‒AlN powder mixture in the planetary mill followed by the vacuum spark-plasma sintering (SPS). It was shown that the phase ratio AlN/Ti gradually decreases under mechanical activation. The data are given on the sample's phase composition, density and hardness after the SPS. The maximum Ti2AlN content value of 90 mass percent was achieved at the SPS temperature 1300 °C. The samples had the lowest porosity value of 1,9 % at the SPS temperature 1200‒1300 °C, the HV0,5hardness being close to 7 GPa.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
