BC6450 MAX Phase Ceramic Material Mo3AlC2

MAX Phase Ceramic Material Mo3AlC2 Description

MAX Phase Ceramic Material Mo3AlC2, a member of the MAX phase family with a purity of >98%, exhibits a unique structure known as the 312 phase. In this structure, MX layers are strongly bonded by covalent bonds, while the A atomic plane is loosely bonded to the MX sheets through weaker covalent bonds, making it easier for A atoms to detach from the MX layers. This distinctive bonding arrangement imparts exceptional performance to the MAX phase. As the thickness of the MX sheets increases, the material's properties approach those of the corresponding M-X binary carbide. Furthermore, the performance of the MAX phase can be enhanced by adjusting the MX sheet thickness.

The MAX phase is a new class of metal-ceramic functional materials characterized by a hexagonal layered structure. It consists of alternating MX and A atomic layers and includes over sixty different ternary carbides and nitrides. In this formula, M represents a transition metal, A is a main-group element, and X stands for carbon or nitrogen. Transition metal carbides and nitrides, known as Mxenes, are a subclass of these materials.

FAQs

Q1. What is Mo₃AlC₂?

Mo₃AlC₂ is a type of MAX phase ceramic material, which is a ternary compound consisting of a metal carbide (Mo₃C₂), an aluminum (Al) atomic layer, and carbon (C). It is known for its unique combination of metallic and ceramic properties, such as high thermal conductivity, excellent oxidation resistance, high temperature stability, and good electrical conductivity.

Q2. What makes Mo₃AlC₂ different from other ceramic materials?

Unlike traditional ceramics, Mo₃AlC₂ is a metallic ceramic that combines the advantages of metals (such as electrical conductivity and toughness) with those of ceramics (such as high-temperature resistance and hardness). This combination gives Mo₃AlC₂ exceptional properties that are useful in both structural and functional applications.

Q3. Can Mo₃AlC₂ be used in combination with other materials?

Yes, Mo₃AlC₂ can be combined with other materials in composite structures to improve specific properties, such as increasing toughness, wear resistance, or enhancing thermal conductivity for certain applications.
