“…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 ).…”
