Orientation MAX phase ceramic and a method of manufacturing the same

摘要

The invention relates to an object that the desired properties of the MAX phase material and retain, made from the MAX phase compounds, a very tough hard material orientation. In the orientation of the ceramic containing M _{n + 1} AX _n phase is ternary compound, the orientation of the ceramic of the present invention comprises, shell nacre similar formed thickness by laminating a layer which is a millimeter order from nanometric It is characterized by having a lamellar microstructure, and a bulk body is oriented millimeter order or total thickness of both small. However, M represents an early transition metal, A represents the A group elements, X represents an N or C, n represents an integer of 1 to 3. [Selection Figure] Figure 2 (a)
