A New Ternary Nanolaminate Carbide: Ti3SnC2

This chapter focuses on the synthesis of Ti_n+1SnC_n (MAX phases) by hot isostatic pressing starting with titanium, tin, and carbon powders. In addition to the already known Ti₂SnC compound (211 MAX phase), a new 312 MAX phase, Ti₃SnC₂, is formed. If chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and, more recently, physical vapor deposition (PVD and mainly magnetron sputtering) methods are used to synthesize thin films of MAX phases, the hot isostatic pressing (HIP) route is mainly used because probably it is the most efficient for bulk materials processing. In the chapter, results obtained by revisiting the HIP synthesis of Ti₂SnC, already performed in 1963 by Jeitschko are discussed.
