Cr₂AlC is a representative material in MAX phase family due to its combination of metallic and ceramic properties such as high electrical conductivity, high thermal conductivity, resistance to corrosion, good oxidation resistance. To further improve performance of Cr₂AlC, ZrC as a reinforcement was selected to reinforce Cr₂AlC matrix composites by hot pressing technique. Influence of ZrC content on the mechanical property of ZrC/Cr₂AlC composites has been investigated. The results showed that 10vol% ZrC/Cr₂AlC composite improved flexural strength (715 MPa) and Vickers hardness (7 GPa) by 80% and 106%, respectively, as compared with those of pure Cr₂AlC material. Date from this study indicate that Cr₂AlC MAX possesses broaden application potential.
