Sintering of Ti₃SiC₂ Ceramics by Hot Press from Commercial Powders

Abstract:

Layered ternary compounds Ti₃SiC₂ combines attractive properties of both ceramics and metals, and has been suggested for potential engineering applications. Near-fully dense Ti₃SiC₂ bulks were sintered from commercial Ti₃SiC₂ powders by hot press at 1350°C-1600°C for 60-120min under Ar atmosphere in this paper. The phase compositions and morphology of the as-prepared samples were evaluated by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). And the mechanical properties were measured by Three-Point bending method. It was found that the Ti₃SiC₂ had only a little of decomposition at sintering temperature above 1350°C. And effects of sintering temperature and holding time on the morphology of the bulk Ti₃SiC₂ are not obvious. Relative density of 98% and flexural strength of 480MPa were obtained for the Ti₃SiC₂ samples sintered at 30MPa and 1400°C for 90min.
