Synthesis of MAX Functional Coatings by PLD — •Peter Schaaf1, Christian Lange1, Salvatore Cusenza1, and Michel Barsoum21Universität Göttingen, II.Physikalisches Institut, Friedrich-Hund-Platz 1, 37077 Göttingen, Germany — 2Drexel University, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Philadelphia, PA, USA

MAX phases - short for Mn+1AXn - constitute an exciting new class of materials. The prototype of this material class, Ti3SiC2, was first discovered and characterized in 1967 [1], but only in 1996 it was discovered that this material is stiff, lightweight, machinable, made from relatively inexpensive raw materials, resistant to oxidation and thermal shock, and capable of remaining strong up to temperatures in excess of 1300C in air [2,3]. Since then, many MAX phases have been synthesized and characterized and first industrial applications occur [3]. Nevertheless, the potential of this material as a protective coating is not yet exploited. We report on experiments on the deposition of MAX coatings by PLD. The films were deposited at increasing substrate temperatures and subsequently analyzed by a variety of methods. Results on MAX coatings in the Ti-Si-C and the Ti-Al-N regime are reported.
