Abstract MAX phases (Ti 3 SiC 2, Ti 3 AlC 2, V 2 AlC, Ti 4 AlN 3, etc.) are layered ternary
carbides/nitrides, which are generally processed and researched as structure ceramics …

This paper provides an overview of the latest research developments in the design and
exploration of ceramic coatings with high temperature adaptive behavior. The adaptive …

Engineering ceramics capable of restoring damage‐induced surface cracking may achieve
enhanced reliability and longer lifetime at high temperature applications compared with …

Highly pure and dense Ti 2 AlC and Ti 2 AlSn 0.2 C bulks were prepared by hot pressing
with molar ratios of 1: 1.1: 0.9 and 1: 0.9: 0.2: 0.85, respectively, at 1450° C for 30 min with …

We report on the use of TiC particles as high temperature healing agent in alumina based
composites. The selection of TiC was based on a theoretical analysis of its high temperature …

We propose a new theoretical kinetic model of strength recovery by oxidation-induced self-
healing of surface cracks in composites containing a healing agent (HA). The kinetics is a …

Abstract Powder mixtures of Ti 3 AlC 2 and Cu (volume ratio: 60: 40) with refined
microstructures were obtained by mechanical alloying. After milling for up to 10 h the …

Ceramics are able to heal cracks and flaws by triggering local sintering (internal cracks) or
oxidation reaction (surface cracks) which may induce the recovery of mechanical strength …

Controlling the chemical reaction rate concerning degradation and repair is found to be
important to design advanced self-healing ceramics. The recovery and degradation …

Abstract Almost pure (Ti 1-x Zr x) 3 SiC 2 MAX phase solid solutions with x ranging up to
0.17 were synthesized at temperatures in the range of 1450–1750° C with reactive Spark …
