High-purity Ti2AlC powders were also prepared from 3TiH2/1.5Al/C and 2TiH2/1.5Al/TiC powders at 1 400 ℃ for 120 min. The as-synthesized samples were porous and easy to be ground into powders. Sn or Si additives in starting materials increased the purity of synthesized Ti3AlC2 obviously and expanded the temperature range for the synthesis of Ti3AlC2. With Si or Sn as additives, high pure Ti3AlC2 was synthesized at 1 200℃ for 60 min from TiH2/x Si/Al/2TiC and TiH2/x Sn/Al/2TiC (x = 0.1, 0.2), respectively.展开更多
