Cold Spraying of Ti2AlC MAX-Phase Coatings

Cold-spray deposition of Ti2AlC coatings

“…Besides some preliminary results [16], until recently this technique has not been substantially studied for deposition of MAX-phase materials. It has nevertheless drawn interest among the scientific community as testified by the results obtained by Gutzmann et al in a paper published during the later stages of the review process of the present paper [17].…”

The synthesis and mechanical properties of high pure Ti2Al(Sn)C solid solution

“…As a representative MAX phase, Ti 2 AlC was first synthesized using Ti, Al, and C powders as raw materials in vacuum heating environment by Jeitsehko et al in 1963, 15 and the excellent oxidation resistance, high Young's modulus and high damage tolerance were characterized, respectively. 1,[16][17][18][19][20] Herein, Ti 2 AlC powders are applied as thick coatings in severe environment through thermal spray and cold spray techniques, 21,22 Moreover, Ti 2 AlC phases have been used as reinforcement in metal matrix composites. 23,24 For Cu/Ti 2 AlC composite material, 24 the micro size Ti 2 AlC particles were in situ decomposed into TiC 0.5 , the comprehensive performance of the in situ formed composite was greatly improved due to the good wettability between substoichiometric TiC 0.5 phases and metal matrix.…”

Dense and highly textured coatings obtained by aerosol deposition method from Ti3SiC2 powder: Comparison to a dense material sintered by Spark Plasma Sintering

“…For instance, a Ti 2 AlC/Ti 3 AlC 2 MAX phase was sprayed by the HVOF technique 87,88 or by Cold Spray. 89,90 Using the first process cited, the authors obtain deposits with similar preferred grains orientation with their basal planes aligned together with the substrate surface, but impurities and cracks are present due to the high temperature used. The Cold Spray process is closer to ADM as the temperature used implies no melting, low residual stress and no new phase creation.…”
