Titanium aluminum carbide (Ti₃AlC₂) belongs to hexagonal system and has the characteristics of metal and ceramic: it not only has the same conductivity and thermal conductivity as metal, but also has the same high elastic modulus and excellent high-temperature mechanical properties as ceramic. It has good conductivity and thermal conductivity, high elastic modulus, low Vickers hardness and good damage resistance. It can be processed at room temperature and produce plastic deformation at high temperature. It also has good high temperature stability and oxidation resistance. It also has good thermal shock resistance, damage resistance and excellent chemical corrosion resistance.

Max phase ceramics (including Ti3SiC2, Ti3AlC2, etc.) is a new type of Machinable conductive ceramics. These ceramics contain more than 60 kinds of ternary carbides or nitrides. M represents the pre metallic element of the transition group; A represents the main family elements, mainly the third and fourth groups of elements; X stands for carbon or nitrogen. Ti3SiC2 is the most widely studied. In 1996, Professor barsum m of Drexel University successfully synthesized Ti3SiC2 by hot pressing, and found its excellent properties. Due to its unique nano layered crystal structure, this ceramic material has the properties of oxidation resistance, self lubrication, high fracture toughness and conductivity at room temperature. This material can be widely used as high-temperature structural material, electrode brush material, chemical anti-corrosion material and high-temperature heater. The products are mainly used for high-temperature coatings, mxene precursors, conductive self-lubricating ceramics, lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, electrochemical catalysis, etc.
