Abstract:

In this study, about 62.2 wt% Ti3SiC2 was synthesized via tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding method, as potential in advanced material applications. This arced sample was characterized using XRD and FESEM analysis to observe the phase presence, and its morphology. Ti3SiC2 phase favours to form at 5 s and produces elongated platelets (Ti3SiC2) grain, micro-porous equiaxed (TiC) grain and melt regions (Ti-Si), when observed at the dense surfaces. Meanwhile, fine dendrite, quasi-spherical, and pyramidal grains were observed at the pore sites. The laminate dendrite of Ti3SiC2 was estimated to form at the origin of TiC faced pyramidal crystal, which nucleated toward TiC pyramidal crystal surface at the specific angle.
