Abstract
MAX phase coatings have attracted much attention because of their functional and comprehensive properties which can meet requirements in modern industry. As an attractive member of the MAX phase family, Cr2AlC can be used as a protection coating in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, high-temperature equipment, nuclear reactors, etc., due to its excellent mechanical properties, remarkable resistance to oxidation, corrosion, and thermal shock, and good anti-wear behavior. Here, we present an overview of the advances in Cr2AlC coatings developed in recent decades, covering preparation techniques, influencing factors, and microstructure characterizations. In addition, the influences of microstructure on mechanical properties, oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance are discussed. This review provides a guide for correctly making decisions how to design and prepare a desirable Cr2AlC coating, and also promotes its practical applications in various fields.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the European Ceramic Society publishes the results of original research and reviews relating to ceramic materials. Papers of either an experimental or theoretical character will be welcomed on a fully international basis. The emphasis is on novel generic science concerning the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of polycrystalline ceramics consolidated at high temperature. Papers may relate to any of the conventional categories of ceramic: structural, functional, traditional or composite. The central objective is to sustain a high standard of research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.
