It is found that ternary-layered carbide Ti_2AlC samples synthesized at 1500 ℃ by hot-pressing sintering are inhomogeneous and have a gradient structure.Electron probe X-ray micro-analysis (EPMA) indicates that the Al content along the hot pressing axis is parabolic, it is the highest in the center and the lowest at the both ends, while the Ti content is constant along the axis. The experimental result reveals that the evaporation of Al in samples in an open system during hot pressing sintering results in a gradient structure.展开更多
