 Production Method of Tantalum Aluminum Carbide Powder

Tantalum aluminum carbide powder is produced through a solid-state reaction or spark plasma sintering (SPS). High-purity tantalum (Ta), 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 – 1600°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon) to form Ta₂AlC. Alternatively, SPS can be used for higher purity and density. 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 Ta₂AlC powder for high-temperature ceramics, coatings, and advanced materials.
