In this work, the oxidation-induced crack healing of Al2O3 containing 20 vol.% of Ti2AlC MAX phase inclusions as healing particles was studied. The oxidation kinetics of the Ti2AlC particles having an average diameter of about 10 μm ...
Self-healing and oxidation of spark plasma sintered Ta2AlC was investigated using a newly developed wedge loaded compact specimen to determine strength recovery in a single specimen. Previous work had predicted dominant Al oxidation leading to dense and strong react ...
Closure of surface cracks by self-healing of conventional and MAX phase ceramics under realistic turbulent combustion chamber conditions is presented. Three ceramics namely; Al2O3, Ti2AlC and Cr2AlC are investigated. Healing was achi ...
