Abstract

ABSTRACTThis study deals with the synthesis of the Ti2AlC phase using the Electro-Thermal Explosion under Pressure with Confinement (ETEPC) technique. The effects of the ETEPC technique and the milling process parameters on the TiCx phase content and the formation mechanism of the Ti2AlC phase were investigated. The latter is mainly affected by the morphology of the powder mixture and aluminum melted amount. The optimization of the above parameters allowed the achievement of the desired reaction, leading to the formation of the Ti2AlC phase with a purity of about 97 wt%. The results clearly demonstrate that the ETEPC process enables one to control both time and material synthesis temperature.
