ABSTRACT
The polycrystalline dense Ti3SiC2 based ceramic have been prepared by several techniques. The effects on the addition of TiC or SiC are also studied. Ti3SiC2 has an unusual combination of electrical, thermal and mechanical extraordinary properties. It has furthermore damage tolerant and oxidation resistance. In this work we have produced Ti3SiC2 by electro-thermal explosion chemical reaction started with high current density (680 amperes) followed by uniaxial pressure. The microstructures of the materials were studied using XRD, SEM and EDX. The surface of Ti3SiC2 was studied by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). High resolution C1s, Si2p, Ti2p, Ti3s core level spectra are inspected in terms of electronic structure. Valence band spectra will be performed to confirm the validity of the theoretical calculations.
