Understanding and improving the thermal stability of layered ternary carbides in ceramic matrix composites

Layered ternary carbides (Ti3SiC2 and Ti3AlC2) are candidate materials for high-temperature structural applications. Their susceptibility to thermal dissociation at elevated temperatures in high vacuum has been studied using in situ neutron diffraction. Above 1300°C, Ti3SiC2 and Ti3AlC2 decompose to...
