Abstract

The influence of the chemical composition on the structure of Cr-Al-C system was investigated using combinatorial thin film synthesis and ab initio calculations. The solubility of Cr, Al and C in Cr2AlC was also investigated by analyzing the effect of chemical composition on the thin film structure. The chemical composition was analyzed by electron probe microanalyzer equipped with 4 wavelength dispersive spectrometer. The formation of the Cr2AlC, Cr2Al, and Cr23C6 phases was observed, by changing the Cr/C ration from 1.72 to 3.48 and the Cr/Al ratio from 1.42 to 4.18.
