Ti 2 AlC ternary carbide is being explored for various high temperature applications due to its strength at high temperatures, excellent thermal-shock resistance, and high electrical conductivity. A potential advantage of Ti 2 AlC over conventional Al 2 O 3 -forming materials is the near-identical coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of Ti 2 AlC and a-Al 2 O 3 , which could result in superior spallation resistance and make Ti 2 AlC a promising option for applications ranging from bondcoats for thermal barrier coatings to furnace heating elements. In this study,
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.
