Abstract

MAX phase materials are known to show unique properties with the combination of metallic and ceramic properties. Recently textured MAX phase materials have been expected to show excellent properties. Here Ti2AlN powders were synthesized from Ti, Al and TiN powders, or Ti and A1N powders heating at 1573 K-1773 K. Then highly textured Ti2AlN was fabricated by slip casting in a strong magnetic field and spark plasma sintering at 1473 K - 1773 K and the relative density was nearly 91%. The c-axis of the Ti2AlN grains were oriented parallel direction of the magnetic field, the lotgering orientation factor was determined 0.96. The nacre like structure was observed in the side surface of the textured sample.
