Titanium Aluminum Carbide (Ti2AlC) is a 211-type MAX phase ceramic material composed of titanium (Ti), aluminum (Al), and carbon (C). MAX phases are layered ternary carbides or nitrides that combine characteristics of metals and ceramics, offering a useful balance of electrical and thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, high-temperature stability, and chemical resistance.
Ti2AlC is particularly attractive for high-temperature structural materials, thermal management, ceramic composites, and as a precursor for the preparation of Ti₂CTₓ MXene. Contact us for more information.
1. High temperature stability: Titanium Aluminum Carbide has good high temperature stability and can maintain structural stability and performance under high temperature environment.
2. Mechanical properties: It has mechanical properties, including high strength, hardness and wear resistance, and is suitable for the preparation of high-performance structural materials.
3. Thermal conductivity: Due to its special structure, Ti2AlC has good thermal conductivity and can be used to prepare efficient thermal management materials.
4. Corrosion resistance: It has good resistance to some chemical corrosion and is suitable for applications in some special environments.
The elemental composition of Ti₂AlC is shown below:
| Element | wt% |
| Ti | 71.07 |
| Al | 20.02 |
| C | 8.91 |
Ti₂AlC can be used directly as a MAX phase ceramic material and can also serve as a precursor for producing Ti-based MXenes, particularly Ti₂CTₓ MXene, through selective removal of the Al layer.
Typical application areas include:
Ti₂CTₓ MXene derived from Ti₂AlC has attracted research interest in areas such as adsorption, sensors, catalysis, lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, lubrication, and other advanced functional materials.
Our products are manufactured under a strict quality management system. Incoming raw materials, production processes, finished products, and final factory inspections are subject to defined quality-control procedures.
Unqualified materials are strictly isolated and controlled to prevent them from entering subsequent processes. Samples can also be provided to customers for verification and re-inspection according to specific requirements.
Packaging: Inner transparent bag with vacuum packaging; outer aluminum foil vacuum bag, carton, paper barrel, or iron barrel. Customized packaging is available according to customer requirements.
Storage: It should be sealed and stored in a dry, cool environment. Prolonged exposure to air and moisture should be avoided to minimize agglomeration and maintain good dispersion performance. Avoid heavy pressure and contact with strong oxidizing agents. Transport as ordinary goods under appropriate packaging conditions.

Yes. it can serve as a precursor for Ti₂CTₓ MXene. The Al layer can be selectively removed during MXene preparation, leaving the layered titanium carbide structure.
Yes. Samples can be provided for customer evaluation and re-inspection according to specific requirements.
Yes. We can discuss customized requirements such as material specifications, packaging, and other technical requirements based on the intended application and customer needs.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
