Characterization of hot-pressed Ti3SiC2–SiC composites

Review of strategies toward the development of alloy two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides

“…Ti 3 SiC 2 MAX Phase is intrinsically self-lubricating properties and TiC second phase for imparting strength ( Magnus et al., 2020 ), which means that the Ti 3 SiC 2 can be easily dry ball milled for further alloying. Most of the attempts are synthesizing through powder metallurgy, which mainly depends upon either material self-lubricating properties or the addition of lubricating material for mechanical milling to avoid any foreign inclusion due to wear and tear ( Haji Amiri et al., 2020 ; Ma et al., 2020 ; Wang et al., 2020b ). There are also novel approaches recommended for formation, such as the arc-melting method, PVD and laser treatment, and molten salt route ( Bahiraei et al., 2020 ; Fattahi and Zarezadeh Mehrizi, 2020 ; Galvin et al., 2018 ; Tunca et al., 2020 ).…”

In-situ synthesis of TiN and TiB2 compounds during reactive spark plasma sintering of BN–Ti composites

“…To overcome the mentioned difficulties, the implementation of advanced sintering techniques and also the incorporation of sintering additives can be the solution. The pressureless sintering (PS) [15][16][17][18], hot-pressing (HP) [19][20][21][22][23], and sintering by spark plasma (SPS) [24][25][26][27][28][29] are amongst the most used processes for sintering of ceramic materials. The first route, i.e., pressureless sintering, is considered as a commercial technique, while the utilization of two others can lead to fabricating high-quality compounds thanks to their intrinsic characteristics, namely simultaneous external pressure and comparably low sintering temperature [1,[30][31][32][33] [4,12,30,31,[34][35][36][37][38].…”

Improved mechanical properties and toughening mechanism of mullite ceramics reinforced by introducing Ti3AlC2 particles

“…9 Previous work indicated that introducing Ti 3 AlC 2 particles into the metal and polymer matrix composites can effectively improve their fracture toughness as well as other mechanical properties. 10 For example, Wang 11 prepared Al-Cu/Ti 3 AlC 2 composites by using Cu-coated Ti 3 AlC 2 particles as the reinforcing phase and their mechanical and frictional properties were much better than that of the Al matrix. Wang et al 12 processed epoxy resin composites strengthened by Ti 3 AlC 2 particles via the hot-pressing method.…”

“…In particular, Ti 3 AlC 2 is a typical MAX phase ceramics, revealing combination advantages of metal and ceramics, for instance, high modulus and strength, good electrical conductivity and anti‐damage tolerance due to its unique hexagonal crystalline and ternary‐layered structure 9 . Previous work indicated that introducing Ti 3 AlC 2 particles into the metal and polymer matrix composites can effectively improve their fracture toughness as well as other mechanical properties 10 . For example, Wang 11 prepared Al–Cu/Ti 3 AlC 2 composites by using Cu‐coated Ti 3 AlC 2 particles as the reinforcing phase and their mechanical and frictional properties were much better than that of the Al matrix.…”
