The MAX phases are a class of nanolaminated materials composed of an early transition-
metal (M), an A-group element (A) and C, N, B and/or P (X). Progress in MAX phase …

Abstract Herein, high-purity Ti 2 (In x Al 1-x) C (x= 0–1) solid solutions were successfully
synthesized. The crystal structure and actual composition of solid solutions were confirmed …

Fine powders of MAX phases (a family of layered carbides/nitrides) have been showing
great promise in energy storage applications. A feasible method of obtaining nano-sized …

This study explores the feasibility of tribological self‐lubricating over a wide temperature
range by do** Si and Sn solid solution components on the A‐sites of Ti3AlC2 to adapt to …

Metals and alloys are essential in modern society, and are used in our daily activities.
