Layered ternary carbides contain alternative stacking of structural slabs in the unit cells.
Many mechanical and structural features are inherited with respect to their binary carbide …

The layered ternary and quaternary carbides in Zr-Al (Si)-C and Hf-Al (Si)-C systems with
general formulae of (TC) n Al 3 C 2,(TC) n Al 4 C 3 and (TC) n [Al (Si)] 4 C 3 (where T= Zr or …

Theoretical investigations on electronic structure, chemical bonding and mechanical
properties reveal that MAB phases (CrB2) nCrAl (n= 1–3) exhibit anisotropic electrical and …

Although stacking faults are commonly found in M7C3 carbides, their causes and effects on
the properties of carbides are rarely reported. The purpose of this work is to explore the …

High-purity and dense Cr2AlC has been successfully fabricated by hot-pressing, using Cr, Al
and graphite as raw materials. Delamination, kink bands, monolamellar kink, transgranular …

MAX phase ceramics is a large family of nanolaminate carbides and nitrides, which
integrates the advantages of both metals and ceramics, in general, the distinct chemical …

In this work, phase pure Cr 2 AlC and impure Cr 2 AlC with Cr 7 C 3 have been fabricated to
investigate the mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. The thermal expansion …

Silicon carbide (SiC) interphase was introduced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD)
process to prevent carbon fiber degradation and improve fiber–matrix interface bonding of …

Ti3SiC2 shows a unique combination of the properties of both metals and ceramics.
However, its stiffness and strength lose rapidly above 1050° C, which is the main obstacle …

We investigated the processing conditions of diamond/tungsten carbide (WC) composites
using in situ synchrotron x-ray diffraction (XRD) and reactive sintering techniques at high …
