Abstract
This paper reports the high-temperature synthesis of cast Cr2AlC from mixtures of chromium(III) oxide, chromium(VI) oxide, aluminum, and carbon at an increased inert gas (Ar or N) pressure in a 3-L self-propagating high-temperature synthesis reactor at an initial argon pressure p i = 5 MPa. The reaction products were characterized by X-ray diffraction and X-ray microanalysis. The results indicate that the ingots obtained under optimized conditions consisted of Cr2AlC and Cr3C2 with a ratio of about 85 : 15.
