Abstract

The thermal stability of Ti₃AlC₂, a kind of ternary laminated machinable ceramic, in hydrogen atmosphere at 1100-1400℃ was investigated. The phase composition and surface morphology of Ti₃AlC₂ before and after hydrogenation were characterized by means of XRD, SEM, SIMS, and Raman. The resulted gaseous products of the hydrogenation process were calculated by Factsage software. Results show that during hydrogenation a small amount of hydrogen dissolves in Ti₃AlC₂; Ti₃AlC₂ decomposes into metastable phase of Ti₃Al_xC₂ by stripping Al atoms. Most of the stripped Al atoms react with the scarce oxygen in the atmosphere to form a homogeneous but not dense Al₂O₃ film, which even spalls off at 1400℃. A gaseous phase of AlH is predicted by the calculation with thermodynamic software. The preliminary results indicate that Ti₃AlC₂ has a good hydrogen resistance at temperatures below 1300℃.

Key words: inorganic non-metallic materials hydrogenation high temperature Ti₃AlC₂
