The MAX phases are a group of layered ternary compounds with the general formula Mn+
1AXn (M: early transition metal; A: group A element; X: C and/or N; n= 1–3), which combine …

By now, it is fairly well established that the layered hexagonal MAX phases are
thermodynamically stable nanolaminates displaying unusual and sometimes unique …

This article provides a review of current research activities that concentrate on Ti 3 SiC 2. We
begin with an overview of the crystal and electronic structures, which are the basis to …

Mn+ 1AXn (MAX) phases are novel structural and functional materials with a layered crystal
structure. Their unique properties such as good machinability, high electrical conductivity …

This study explores the feasibility of employing MAX phase composite as impregnated solid
lubricants and/or as bulk material for advanced high temperature tribological applications …

The present work investigates, for the first time, the dry sliding friction and wear behaviour of
fully dense, predominantly single-phase MoAlB ceramics against alumina (Al 2 O 3) and …

In this paper, we report on the tribological behavior, at 25 and 550° C of the following
layered (MAX phase) ternary carbides: Ti2AlC, Cr2AlC, Ta2AlC, Ti3SiC2, Ti2AlN, Ti4AlN3 …

In this study, a series of Cu–Ti 3 SiC 2 composites with different Ti 3 SiC 2 contents were
prepared by spark plasma sintering. Their mechanical properties and electrical resistivity …

Ta4AlC3, a new member of the Mn+ 1AXn-phase family, has been synthesized and
characterized (n= 1–3; M= early transition metal; A= A-group element; and X= C and/or N) …

Cold-sprayed composites' inherent brittleness, caused by the weak interface bonding and
plastic depletion, limits their wide application. Friction stir processing (FSP) as a post …
