Influence of Small Amounts of Si and Al on the Synthesis of Ti3SiC2 by Spark Plasma Sintering

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ti/Si/C element powders were used to synthesize Ti3SiC2 by spark plasma sintering. The synthesized products consisted of Ti3SiC2, together with TiC and Ti5Si3 as impurities. The addition of Al, excess Si, and appropriate sintering temperature increased the purity of Ti3SiC2 in the products. From the 3Ti/1.2Si/2C/0.2Al mixture, Ti3SiC2 with the purity 99 mass % was synthesized at 1300 °C for 5 min at 30 MPa.
