Abstract

The oxidation resistance and thermal stability of Ti2AlC at 1600–1800 °C in air were studied by using induction heating method. The results showed that Ti2AlC could survive with relatively low oxidation rate at temperatures up to 1650 °C for a short period of time due to the formation of an Al2O3 inner layer with certain protectiveness. However, at 1700 and 1800 °C, severe oxidation of Ti2AlC happened, the entire Al2O3 inner layer no longer existed, and the whole oxide scale became porous, cracked and voluminous. In the oxidation processes, the Ti2AlC substrate decomposed to TiCx at 1700 °C, and transformed to Ti3AlC2 due to the reaction with TiCx at 1800 °C, indicating that the massive consumption of Al in Ti2AlC exceeded its deficiency tolerance.
