High Purity Titanium stannum carbide Ti2SnC MAX Powder

Specification of High Purity Titanium stannum carbide Ti2SnC MAX Powder:

CAS:12316-56-2

Product number:SAT-Ti2SnC

Status: Grey Black powder

partilce size: 20um, 325mesh

Purity:99%

Shape: Irregular

Features: 

1. 211-type layered structure— alternating Ti₂C and Sn layers, with Sn replacing Al as the A-site element

2. Density ~6.6 g/cm³— notably heavier than Al-based MAX phases because of the high atomic mass of Sn (118.7)

3. Self-lubricating, low friction— Sn is a soft metal and the layers slide easily; this is the most distinctive feature of Ti₂SnC
4. Metallic conductivity— on the order of 10⁶ S/m; machinable
5. Moderate-to-soft mechanical profile— Vickers hardness ~3–5 GPa, modulus ~200 GPa, good fracture toughness, easy to machine
6. Poor thermal stability (key limitation)— Sn melts at only 232°C, so Sn de-intercalation and decomposition occur at elevated temperature; long-term service temperature is limited
7.  Poor oxidation resistance— Sn oxidises readily and the phase decomposes in air at high temperature, far inferior to Cr₂AlC
8. Sn provides lithium-storage activity— Sn is an alloying-type Li-storage element (~994 mAh/g theoretical), giving Ti₂SnC both structural stability and high-capacity potential

Application of High Purity Niobium Aluminium Carbide Nb2AlC MAX Powder:

1. Self-lubricating materials and wear-resistant coatings (primary)— solid lubricants, sliding components under dry friction, friction-reducing coatings for tools and dies

2. Sliding electrical contact materials— applications requiring both conductivity and low friction, such as sliding contacts, brushes and slip rings

3. Li/Na-ion battery anode research— exploits Sn alloying chemistry while the layered MAX structure buffers volume expansion

4. Composite reinforcement / functional filler— a dual-function conductive and friction-reducing filler

5. Ti₂CTx MXene precursor (secondary)— usable as a precursor, although Ti₂CTx is mostly prepared from Ti₂AlC in industrial practice

Quality Control process:

Quality is engineered into every batch, not inspected in at the end — SAT NANO enforces rigorous testing and process control from raw material to finished powder, ensuring reliable, high-quality products every time.
