Decomposition kinetics of MAX phases in extreme environments

MAX phases are remarkable materials but they become unstable at elevated temperatures and decompose into binary carbides or nitrides in inert atmospheres. The susceptibility of MAX phases to thermal dissociation at 1300-1550 °C in high vacuum has been studied using in-situ neutron diffraction. Above...
