Chromium Aluminum Carbide (Cr2AlC) MAX Phase Micron Powder from Nanografi is a grey, 99% pure powder with a particle size of -400 mesh, produced by non-pressurized sintering. It is supplied for researchers working on high-temperature coatings, MXene synthesis, nuclear materials and functional surfaces.
Cr2AlC belongs to the MAX phase family of nanolaminated ternary compounds. Its crystal lattice alternates strongly covalent Cr-C layers with layers of aluminum atoms, giving it a combination of metallic and ceramic behaviour. In oxidizing environments, chromium and aluminum together build protective oxide layers on the surface, which gives the material its notable chemical stability.
Because of the layered structure, the material can absorb energy through delamination and kinking instead of failing in a brittle way. This gives it high damage tolerance and allows it to be shaped with conventional machining tools, unlike typical brittle ceramics.
- Development of environmental barrier and thermal coatings that protect gas turbine superalloys from oxidation and hot corrosion.
- Feedstock for synthesizing Cr2C MXenes used in energy storage and EMI shielding research.
- Investigation as a structural material for nuclear reactor core components and fuel cladding owing to its radiation tolerance.
- Conductive ceramic substrates and electrical contacts that must operate at high temperatures.
- Catalyst supports for electrochemical processes such as water splitting for hydrogen production.
- Research on antimicrobial and radical-scavenging coatings for biomedical surfaces.
