The results of experimental studies of the phase and structure formation of a layered ceramic material based on the MAX-phase in the Ti / Ti-Al-C system obtained under the combination of combustion processes and high-temperature shear deformation (SHS compression) are presented. The structural features of the developed material and the nature of the interaction between the products of synthesis and the surface layer of the titanium substrate are studied. Ill. 4. Ref. 16.
