Abstract

Similarities between the properties of the H-phases Ti3GeC2 and Ti3SiC2 are demonstrated. Microstructural evidence is then presented that indicates that these compounds behave as polycrystalline nanolaminates. It is further shown that the relatively weak bonding between the metametal layers and transition metal carbide or nitride layers sandwiched between them result in excellent machinability of these compounds, a hardnesss of 3-6 GPa, electrical conductivity of 2-5 x 10 exp 6/ohm m, high yield points, and significant plasticity at temperatures as high as 1300 C in air.
