Short-carbon-fibers (C sf) reinforced Ti 3 SiC 2 matrix composites (C sf/Ti 3 SiC 2, the C sf
content was 0 vol%, 2 vol%, 5 vol%, and 10 vol%) were fabricated by spark plasma sintering …

The chemical bonding within the transition-metal carbide materials MAX phase Ti 3 Al C 2
and MXene Ti 3 C 2 T x is investigated by x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) …

Based on thermodynamic analysis, highly dense (TiB2+ TiC)/Ti3SiC2 composite ceramics
with different TiB2 volume contents were in situ fabricated in situ by hot-pressing at 1500° C …

The non-lubricated, ball-on-flat sliding friction and wear properties of in situ (TiB2+
TiC)/Ti3SiC2 composites against bearing steel ball were investigated. The load was varied …

In this paper, polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) with Ti 3 AlC 2–Al as the compound
binder was manufactured by high-temperature and high-pressure (HTHP) method. Effects of …
