Abstract

The cyclic-oxidation behavior of Ti3AlC2 was investigated at 1000-1300°C in air for up 40 cycles. It was revealed that Ti3AlC2 had excellent resistance to thermal cycling. The cyclic oxidation of Ti3AlC2 basically obeyed a parabolic law. In all cases, the scales were dense, resistant to spalling and highly stratified. The inner continuous α-Al2O3 layer was well adhesive, while the outermost layer changed from rutile TiO2 at temperatures below 1100°C to Al2TiO5 at 1200 and 1300°C, respectively. At 1300°C, a mechanical-keying structure of inner Al2O3 to the Ti3AlC2 substrate formed, which improved the resistance to scale-spallation.
