Highly oriented nanometer max phase ceramic and preparation method for max phase in-situ autogenous oxide nanocomposite ceramic

Abstract

A highly oriented nanometer MAX phase ceramic and a preparation method for a MAX phase in-situ autogenous oxide nanocomposite ceramic. The raw materials comprise a MAX phase ceramic nano-lamellar powder body or a blank body formed by the nano-lamellar powder body, wherein MAX phase ceramic nano-lamellar particles in the powder body or the blank meet the particle size being between 20-400 nm, and the oxygen content is between 0.0001%-20% by mass; MAX phase grains in the ceramic obtained after the raw materials are sintered are lamellar or spindle-shaped, the lamellar structure having a high degree of orientation. Utilizing special properties of the nano-lamellar MAX powder body, orientation occurs during compression and deformation to obtain a lamellar structure similar to that in a natural pearl shell, and such a structure has a high bearing capacity and resistance to external loads and crack propagation, just like a brick used in a building.
