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 …

Self-lubricating materials are becoming more widespread in fields like metal forming or
power generation due to the inability to use conventional lubricants in high-temperature (HT) …

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

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 layered Mn+ 1ACn ternary carbides–MAX phases–Ta2AlC, Ti2AlC, Cr2AlC and
Ti3SiC2 were tested under dry sliding conditions against alumina at 550° C and 3N load (for …

Because the layered machinable ternary carbide, Ti2SC, has a significantly shorter c‐lattice
parameter—as compared with most of the 50+ other so‐called Mn+ 1AXn (MAX) phase …

The microstructure of oxide scales formed on Ti 2 AlC surface after oxidation at 1200° C is
investigated. The results reveal an inhomogeneous morphology of the oxide scales, ie …

Abstract Laser clad NiCr/Cr 3 C 2 coating and Ti 2 SC/CrS self-lubricating anti-wear
composite coating using NiCr/Cr 3 C 2–WS 2 powders were fabricated on Ti6Al4V …

TiC reinforced Ti matrix composite coating with Ti 2 SC/TiS lubricant phases in-situ
synthesized were prepared on TA2 titanium alloy by laser cladding with different powder …

In this paper, the dry-sliding tests of Ti 3 AlC 2/SiC tribopairs were conducted from 25° C to
1000° C in both air and argon atmospheres for confirming the roles of tribo-oxidation and …
