The large class of layered ceramics encompasses both van der Waals (vdW) and non-vdW solids. While intercalation of noble metals in vdW solids is known, formation of compounds by incorporation of noble-metal layers in non-vdW layered solids is largely unexplored. Here, we show formation of Ti3AuC2 and Ti3Au2C2 phases with up to 31% lattice swelling by a substitutional solid-state reaction of Au...

The physicochemical properties of porous Ti2AlC and Ti3SiC2 MAX phase compounds with controlled porosity grain size obtained by powder metallurgy techniques was studied in depth order to access their suitability applications such as catalytic devices on vehicles, heat exchangers or impact resistant structures. study performed isostatic consolidated samples different amount (20–60 vol%) space ho...

The structural-phase state and tribological characteristics of detonation coatings based on Ti–Si–C before after pulsed-plasma exposure have been experimentally investigated. authors the research used a set-up CCDS2000 to obtain coatings. modification coating surfaces was carried out by flow using “Impulse-6” installation. results shown that surface effect causes an increase in microhardness la...

SiC-based ceramics are of great interest for various advanced applications. However, its fabrication requires high-temperature treatment at ~2000 – 2100 °С. In this study, we developed an approach based on low-temperature reactive spark plasma sintering to produce dense with superior mechanical properties. It was found that SPS temperature 1600 °C and introduction 10 15 wt.% mechanically activa...
