摘要：This paper studies the effect of heat treatment performed at the MAX-phases formation temperature on the phase composition of the MAX/TiC-composite formed in the Ti–Al–C system in the conditions of free SHS-compression. The dependence between the titanium carbide (TiC) content and delay time before applying the load during free SHS-compression is defined. The experimental results show that the proposed heat treatment leads to carbide content reduction.
