摘要	Nb-based '312' MAX phase has not been recognized so far, raising a hypothesis that Nb doping would destabilize the isostructural Ti3AlC2. Here we report that (Ti1-xNbx)(3)AlC2 could persist with a doping limitation up to x=0.15. As demonstrated by HAADF-STEM analysis, Nb dopants homogeneously distribute among polycrystalline grains at the microscale and randomly occupy the Ti sites at the atomic level. Beyond the limitation, Nb-doped '312' phase Ti3AlC2 decomposes into (Ti,Nb)C, Nb-doped '211' phase Ti2AlC, and Nb-based '413' phase. Compared to pristine Ti3AlC2, the compressive strength of (Ti0.9Nb0.1)(3)AlC2 at 1200 degrees C increases by 130%, whereas doping at this level impairs the oxidation resistance. Improving high-temperature strength without deteriorating oxidation resistance can be achieved by 5% Nb doping. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
