Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology

The Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology publishes original scientific articles on all topics of ceramic science and technology from all ceramic branches. The focus is on the scientific exploration of  the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of sintered ceramic materials as well as on new processing routes for innovative ceramic materials. The papers may have either theoretical or experimental background. A high quality of publications will be guaranteed by a thorough double blind peer review process.

The Journal is published by Göller Verlag GmbH on behalf of the Deutsche Keramische Gesellschaft (DKG). Edited by Yu-Ping Zeng, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China.

Abstract

In this paper, we report on the electrical and thermal properties of predominantly single-phase Ti3AlC2 ceramics (96.7 wt%) as a function of temperature. The results show that Ti3AlC2 is a good electrical and thermal conductor at high temperature. From 300 to 1173 K, the electrical resistivity of Ti3AlC2 increases linearly from 3.4 × 10-5 to which indicates that Ti3AlC2 ceramic is a metallic conductor. In the 473 to 1473 K temperature range, the coefficient of thermal expansion of Ti3AlC2 yields an average value of 9.3 × 10-6 K-1, which is comparable with the coefficients of Ti2AlC and Ti3SiC2. The thermal conductivity increases from 22.6 to 26.4 W·m-1·K-1 with rising temperature from 473 to 1473 K. It is found that the electronic contribution to the thermal conductivity is the dominant mechanism. The molar heat capacity of Ti3AlC2 is 138.6 J·mol-1·K-1 at 473 K and extrapolates to 168.5 J·mol-1·K-1 at 1473 K.
