Abstract

Highly pure Ti2SC was synthesised by microwave hybrid heating. The effects of composition and processing parameters, such as microwave output power, sintering temperature and dwell time on the formation process and morphology of Ti2SC were studied. The purity of Ti2SC is sensitive to the content of sulphur and sintering temperature. The results indicated that the optimum condition for synthesising Ti2SC was using a mixture of 1.15TiS2/2.85Ti/2C powders irradiated under a 100% microwave output power sintering at 1100°C for 3 min at Ar atmosphere. In addition, the reaction evolution of Ti2SC was discussed in details.
