Production Method of Molybdenum Aluminum Carbide

Molybdenum aluminum carbide powder is typically produced through a solid-state reaction. High-purity molybdenum (Mo), aluminum (Al), and carbon (C) powders are mixed in a 2:1:1 ratio and ball-milled for homogeneity. The mixture is heated in a furnace at 1200°C – 1400°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon) for several hours to form Mo₂AlC. The reaction proceeds as:\text{2Mo + Al + C → Mo₂AlC}2Mo + Al + C → Mo₂AlC

The sintered product is crushed, ground, and sieved to achieve the desired particle size. The powder is stored in airtight containers under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. This method ensures high-quality Mo₂AlC powder for high-temperature ceramics, coatings, and advanced materials.
