Kink formation and kink strengthening mechanisms were examined in the polycrystalline Ti3SiC2 MAX phase prepared by a reaction sintering process using spark-plasma-sintering machine. The creep behavior tested compression at 1200°C showed two deformation regions depending on applied stresses; stresses lower than 120 MPa, stress exponent n exhibited ≈1.8, whereas higher stresses, it ≥ 6. can be a...

Photocatalytic ammonia synthesis is exciting but quite challenging with a very moderate yield at present. One of the greatest challenges to develop highly active centers in photocatalyst for N2 reduction under ambient conditions. Herein, porous carbon-doped anatase TiOx (C-TiOx) nanosheets high-concentration sites Ti3+ are presented, which produced by layered Ti3SiC2 through reproducible bottom...

Commercially available Ti3SiC2 and Ti2AlC ceramics were used in this study to investigate their wet corrosion mechanical behaviour as they under investigation for years applications the field of nuclear cladding materials aerospace. The test coupons dimension 3 × 4 40 mm3 20 machined out from commercially samples 3-pt bend test, respectively. water vapour studies these carried at 800 ?, 1000 12...
