Study of high-temperature thermal stability of max phases in vacuum

The susceptibility of two MAX phases (Ti2AlN and Ti4AlN3) to high-temperature thermal dissociation in a dynamic environment of high-vacuum has been investigated using in-situ neutron diffraction. In high vacuum, these phases decomposed above 1400C through the sublimation of Ti and Al elements, formi...
