Abstract

In this work, high-temperature annealing of a composite material based on the Ti₃SiC₂ MAX phase, dispersion-strengthened with TiC and TiB₂ particles, obtained by free SHS compression, was carried out. Annealing was carried out in an oxidizing atmosphere at temperatures of 900, 1100, 1300 °C for 10 hours and at a temperature of 1400 °C for 4 hours. Based on the experimental data, the dependences of the specific weight gain of the oxidized samples and the oxidation rate on the temperature and annealing time were plotted. Based on X-ray phase analysis, the results of scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive analysis, the effect of annealing temperature on the phase composition, structure, and mechanical properties of materials was established. It has been established that with an increase in the annealing temperature in the material, the proportion of the MAX phase increases from 26 to 63 wt %.
