Nano-scale Si segregation and precipitation in Cr2Al(Si)C MAX phase coatings impeding grain growth during oxidation

We recently reported that the columnar grain width of Cr2AlC MAX phase coatings increases during oxidation (4 h at 1120°C) by 80%, while for 0.7 at.% Si additions to Cr2AlC, coarsening of only 12% was observed. Here, we use nm scale compositional and microstructural investigations to identify signif...
