Aside from a thin oxide layer on the coating surface, a pure Ti₂AlC layer was formed immediately below. In total, the coatings were found to exist as seven microstructurally unique sub-layers due to equilibration of supersaturated phases formed during the laser cladding process. No delamination between any layers was observed. The phase identification and microstructure, as determined using XRD, SEM and EDS, are described in detail. Some unique microstructures were observed, including dendritic Ti₂AlC MAX phase grains produced from a topochemical reaction between TiC_x and Ti_yAl_z regions, and α-Ti supersaturated with up to 33 at.% C. The kinetically trapped phases produced within the coating using this process may offer a strong combination of material properties which could be advantageous for use in extreme environments.]]> Wed 09 Nov 2022 15:31:01 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40763 Mon 18 Jul 2022 14:01:39 AEST ]]>
