“…Jingfeng Li et al synthesized Ti 3 SiC 2 with the purity of 95.8 vol% by mechanical alloying of the 3Ti/Si/2C powder mixture for 10 h, and subsequent vacuum heat-treating at 1000 • C for 1 h [10]. Orther fabricated single-phase Ti 3 SiC 2 by sintering using a 1 h ball-milled powder mixture consisting of 3Ti/(1 + x) Si/2C(0.1,0.2,0.3) at 1350 • C for 2 h [11].…”
