Production Method of MAX Special Ceramics Material Molybdenum Aluminum Carbide Mo3AlC2 Powder ：

Carbothermal reduction method

The carbothermal reduction method is a commonly used method to prepare molybdenum and aluminum carbide; its basic principle is to heat the mixture of alumina, molybdenum oxide and carbon powder to high temperature so that carbon and oxide reduction reaction, molybdenum and aluminum carbide. The specific steps are as follows:

Alumina, molybdenum oxide and toner are mixed proportionately to make a mixture.

The mixture is placed in a carbothermal reduction furnace and heated to high temperature.

At high temperatures, carbon and oxide undergo a reduction reaction to form molybdenum and aluminum carbide.

The resulting molybdenum and aluminum carbide are removed from the furnace for cooling and grinding.

In addition, adjusting the ratio of raw materials and reaction conditions can control the composition and properties of molybdenum and aluminum carbide. However, the carbon-thermal reduction method also has some things that could be improved, such as the need to use a large amount of carbon, the ease of introducing impurities, and the harsher reaction conditions than the need for a high-temperature reduction atmosphere.

Thermite reduction method

Thermite reduction is a method of preparing molybdenum and aluminum carbide by thermite reaction. The method uses aluminum powder as a reducing agent; molybdenum oxide is reduced to metal molybdenum, alumina is reduced to metal aluminum, and molybdenum aluminum carbide is obtained. The specific steps are as follows:

Molybdenum oxide and aluminum powder are mixed according to a certain proportion to make a mixture.

The mixture is placed in the thermite reactor and heated to high temperature.

At high temperatures, aluminum powder reacts with molybdenum oxide to form metal molybdenum and metal aluminum.

The resulting metal molybdenum and metal aluminum are cooled and crushed.

Molybdenum carbide and aluminum carbide are carbonized to obtain molybdenum and aluminum carbide.

The advantages of the thermite reduction method are high purity and uniform composition of molybdenum and aluminum carbide prepared. However, this method also has some disadvantages, such as high preparation costs, long production cycles, and the need to use large equipment for production.
