High-Temperature Firing of Composite Based on the Max-Phase of the Ti–Al–C System

Resumo

Results are given for a study of the effect of firing at a temperature for formation of MAX-phase of the Ti–Al–C system on structure and phase composition of MAX/TiC material prepared by free SHS-compression. A relationship is established between soaking time before load application during free SHS-compression and structure parameters of the material obtained. It is shown that heat treatment at 1350°C provides a reduction in the proportion of TiC in finished material and the change in proportion of carbide is directly proportional to its original fineness.
