In situ diffraction study of thermal decomposition in Maxthal Ti(2)AlC

The thermal stability of Ti(2)AlC at elevated temperature (1000–1550 °C) in vacuum has been investigated using in situ neutron diffraction. At temperatures above 1400 °C, Ti(2)AlC became unstable and began to decompose via sublimation of Al, resulting in a porous surface layer of TiCx being formed....
