High-temperature thermal stability of Ti2AlN and Ti4AlN3: A comparative diffraction study

The susceptibility of Ti2AlN and Ti4AlN3 to high-temperature thermal dissociation in a dynamic environment of high-vacuum has been investigated using in situ neutron diffraction. Under high vacuum, these ternary nitrides decomposed above 1400 °C through the sublimation of Al, and possibly Ti, to for...
