1. What is Ti3SiC2?
Titanium Silicon Carbide (Titanium SiC2) is a ceramic material that has all the properties of metal, including electrical conductivity, heat transmission, workability, plasticity, etc. Ti3SiC2 exhibits the characteristics of a metal. It is relatively soft and has high elastic modulus at room temperatures. It can be processed like metal and is plastic even at high temperatures. The fact that it is self-lubricating and has a lower coefficient of friction is even more impressive than traditional solid lubricants such as graphite and Molybdenum Disulfide.

2. Ti3SiC2 Ceramics – Main Properties

Ti3SiC2 has the properties of both ceramics and metals. High melting point, high modulus of elasticity, and high stability at high temperatures are all properties of similar ceramics.

According to research on the damage resistance properties of Ti3SiC2, the sub-indentation shows that there is an extensive pseudoplastic area. Ti3SiC2 absorbs energy through multiple mechanisms, including diffusion microcracks. Moreover, the material is self-lubricating. This material can be used as a high-temperature structure, brush, self-lubricating, heat-exchange, etc. Other ceramic materials have a relatively low hardness. They also have low wear resistance.

Thirdly, the application and use of Ti3SiC2 layer ceramic materials

(Biomedical Applications)
Material or components that are used in dentistry must not only be stable and resistant to long-term corrosion, but they also have to be workable and plastic. The biocompatibility of Ti3SiC2 allows it to be used in human tissue. Ti3SiC2 has the ability to machine into threads of precise sizes without using lubricant. It can therefore be used for implants and restorations in clinical oral medicine. Comparing Ti3SiC2 with zirconia, its elastic modulus (1.9x105MPa) is closer to enamel or dentin. This increases the potential of using it in porcelain or post-dental crowns. Ti3SiC2 obtained by self-propagating heat has a porous texture, making it easier to organise and combine. Low coefficient of slippage allows for increased sliding and reduced friction resistance in orthodontics. The material must have corrosion resistance and oxidation protection to maintain its stability in an oral environment. Both this material and powder porcelain are ceramic materials. This means that the bonding is likely to be stronger than with metal and porcelain. The porcelain crowns are therefore more versatile.

The current Ti3SiC2 methods of preparation must be improved in order to get a pure Ti3SiC2 and better understand its characteristics. The biocompatibility of the material and its clinical applicability still require further laboratory and clinic studies.

(2) Refractory materials

As rapid firing technology is promoted in the ceramics industry, the kiln furnishings cycle period gets shorter and shorter. Also, the usage conditions become more demanding. It is therefore necessary to improve the thermal resistance of kiln-furniture materials in order to meet the rapid fire technology of ceramic industry. Development requirements. Quality of kilns furniture is important as a type of advanced refractory materials. It has a great influence on the quality fired products. Thermal shock is not a problem for Ti3SiC2 and its unique layering structure and plasticity at high temperatures can help to reduce thermal stress. The thermal shock resistance can handle a temperature change of 900 degrees. Ti3SiC2 ceramics have the advantage of being chemically resistant, easy to process, and having a relatively low cost. This makes it an ideal material for kiln furnishings.

The excellent properties of spherical aluminum in terms of electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties make it a popular choice for electronic semiconductor packaging.
