Abstract

In this study, effects of Ti/AlN powders activation and spark plasma sintering (SPS) temperature on the microstructure and wear behavior of Ti2AlN MAX phase were investigated. The Rietveld refinement analysis showed that with the increase in SPS temperature from 1100 to 1200 °C, the weight percentage of Ti2AlN phase enhanced from 84.41 to 94.76. However, further rising of the SPS temperature to 1300 °C did not considerably change the purity of samples. This can be related to the acceleration of aluminum atoms evaporation at higher temperatures which restricts the Ti2AlN formation. A small fraction of TiN phase was also detected in the samples. To understand the effect of milling time on the purity of Ti2AlN MAX phase, the milled powders for 8 and 50 h were consolidated in a similar condition at 1100 °C. Microstructural studies showed that the increment of milling time did not improve the purity of this MAX phase, possibly due to the variation of the stoichiometric ratio of initial powders. The underlying mechanisms of these observations are also discussed. The wear test results showed that samples with a higher content of TiN by-product phase exhibited better wear resistance due to the improved H/E ratio of TiN compared to Ti2AlN.
