Ti3AlC
metal· Ti3AlC
Ti3AlC is a ternary titanium aluminum carbide compound belonging to the MAX phase family—layered ceramics combining metallic and ceramic properties. This material exhibits unusual mechanical behavior: it remains damage-tolerant and machinable despite ceramic hardness, making it valuable where traditional ceramics are too brittle. Primary applications include high-temperature structural components, wear-resistant coatings, and thermal management systems in aerospace and power generation; researchers are also exploring its potential in composite reinforcement and electrical contact materials due to its thermal and electrical conductivity.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
