Abstract

As a result of mechanically activated self-propagating synthesis, from the initial mixture of Ti, Si, and C powders or a mixture of Ti, Si, and C powders with the addition of 5 wt. % Zr or with the addition of 5 wt. % V, the MAX phase Ti₃SiC₂ was obtained. The effect of doping the MAX phase Ti₃SiC₂ with zirconium and vanadium on the degree of its formation was investigated. It was found that doping the MAX phase Ti₃SiC₂ with 5 wt. % V led to an increase in its amount and, accordingly, a decrease in the amount of the secondary TiC phase in the final product. When doping the MAX phase with 5 wt. % Zr, on the contrary, its amount decreased, and the amount of the TiC phase increased.
