Description
Summary:The Ti3AlC2-, (Ti,Nb)3AlC2- and Ti2AlC-based materials turned out to be more resistant than Crofer JDAsteel in oxidizing atmosphere as 1000 h long tests at 600◦C have shown. But the amounts of oxygen absorbed bythe materials during testing were different. The Ti2AlC-based material demonstrated the lowest oxygen uptake,(Ti,Nb)3AlC2-based absorbed a somewhat higher amount and the highest amount was absorbed by Ti3AlC2-basedmaterial. Scanning electron microscopy and the Auger study witnessed that amounts of oxygen in the MAXphases before the exposure in air were as well different: the approximate stoichiometries of the matrix phases ofmaterials were Ti3.1−3.2AlC2−2.2, Ti1.9−4Nb0.06−0.1AlC1.6−2.2O0.1−1.2and Ti2.3−3.6AlC1−1.9O0.2−0.6, respectively.The higher amount of oxygen present in the MAX phase structures may be the reason for higher resistanceto oxidation during long-term heating in air at elevated temperature. The studied materials demonstrated highstabilities in hydrogen atmosphere as well. The bending strength of the Ti3AlC2- and (Ti,Nb)3AlC2-based materialsafter keeping at 600◦C in air and hydrogen increased by 10–15%, but the highest absolute value of bending strengthbefore and after being kept in air and hydrogen demonstrated the Ti2AlC-based material (about 590 MPa).
