Abstract

Ceramic Ti2AlC building blocks of 4 × 1.24 x 1.24 mm³ size were prepared by injection molding and assembled to brick-and-mortar structures with tetragonal, monoclinic and triclinic unit cells. The single building blocks were bonded with an Al-loaded polysiloxane adhesive, which was afterwards pyrolized. Afterwards the 3D-assemblies were infiltrated with an Al-melt to fabricate dense 0-3 ceramic-metal composites. The influence of the unit cell of the resulting Ti2AlC-Al composites was investigated regarding the mechanical properties and damage mechanisms in bending tests. The developed near-net shape fabrication process shows great potential to manufacture structured ceramic-metal composites with high toughness and complex shape. Due to their ductile behavior scaffold applications are possible. The calculated initial fracture toughness of monolithic Ti2AlC could be improved from 5.0 MPa m0.5 to 14.5 MPa m0.5 for the monoclinic assembly and 14.7 MPa m0.5 for the triclinic assembly, corresponding to an increase of 191 %.
