Vanadium Chromium Aluminium Carbide MAX Phase Powder

Vanadium Chromium Aluminium Carbide MAX Phase Powder

Applications

Heat Shields & Turbine Blades: Due to its high thermal stability and oxidation resistance, V₂CrAlC MAX phase powder is ideal for aerospace components such as heat shields, turbine blades, and engine parts that are subjected to extreme temperatures and oxidative conditions. These properties allow the material to maintain its integrity even in high-stress environments such as jet engines and rocket propulsion systems.

Jet Engine Components: The material is highly suitable for applications in jet engines, where high temperatures and mechanical stress demand materials with a combination of strength, heat resistance, and lightweight properties.

Cutting Tools and Wear-Resistant Coatings

Wear-Resistant Coatings: V₂CrAlC’s high hardness and wear resistance make it suitable for use in cutting tools, drills, and milling inserts used in industries like machining, mining, and metalworking. It helps improve the lifespan of tools exposed to extreme abrasion.

Protective Coatings for Industrial Machinery: The material is used in protective coatings for machinery that operates in abrasive or high-temperature environments. These coatings reduce wear and tear, extending the equipment’s operational lifetime and reducing maintenance costs.

Energy Storage and Batteries

Battery Electrodes: With its excellent electrical conductivity and thermal stability, V₂CrAlC MAX phase powder is being explored for use in battery electrodes, including lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. These applications benefit from the powder’s ability to maintain stable performance under high charge/discharge cycles and at elevated temperatures.

Energy Conversion Systems: V₂CrAlC can also be used in energy conversion devices, such as fuel cells, to improve the performance and efficiency of energy storage and conversion systems.

Corrosion-Resistant Coatings

Chemical and Nuclear Industries: V₂CrAlC is used in corrosion-resistant coatings for chemical reactors, heat exchangers, and components exposed to high temperatures and aggressive chemicals. Its oxidation resistance makes it particularly useful in the chemical and nuclear industries, where materials are often exposed to corrosive substances and high temperatures.
