Abstract

In this paper, phase composition of the M n+1AX n phases by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) was determined using Ti, Cr, Al, and carbon black as raw materials. And, phase composition and microstructures of the M n+1AX n phases-contained bulk by SHS with the pseudo-hot isostatic pressing (SHS/PHIP) were investigated in Ti–Cr–Al–C systems raw materials. Rietveld XRD refinement was introduced to study the lattice parameters and phase composition of the resultant phases from the SHSed and SHS/PHIPed samples. Ti2AlC x , Ti3AlC2x , and Cr2AlC x by SHS were detected in the Ti–Cr–Al–C systems, as well as the binary carbide of TiC and intermetallics. The mechanical properties of the synthesized bulk samples were determined, exhibiting a high strength and toughness compared with the typical monolithic M n+1AX n phase ceramics. It is indicated that the samples prepared by SHS/PHIP are identified to be a strategy for improving the mechanical properties of monolithic M n+1AX n phase.
