Abstract

The oxidation behavior of quaternary (Cr_2/3Ti_1/3)₃AlC₂ MAX ceramic at high temperatures in air and steam was investigated by isothermal oxidation test. The good oxidation resistance of (Cr_2/3Ti_1/3)₃AlC₂ at 800-1200 ℃ in air and at 1000-1200 ℃ in steam may be ascribed to the oxide scale with Al₂O₃, TiO₂ and Cr₂O₃ formed on the surface of (Cr_2/3Ti_1/3)₃AlC₂ during oxidation. An oxide scale with external Ti-rich layer, intermediate Cr-rich layer and internal Al-rich layer was formed on the surface of (Cr_2/3Ti_1/3)₃AlC₂ during oxidation at 1200 ℃ in air/steam. The structure of the oxide scale was affected by the selective oxidation and diffusion of elements in (Cr_2/3Ti_1/3)₃AlC₂. The results indicate that (Cr_2/3Ti_1/3)₃AlC₂ exhibit good oxidation resistance in high temperature air/steam.
