Synthesis, phase composition, structure and strength properties of porous materials based on compound Ti<sub>3</sub>SiC<sub>2</sub>
The paper reports the study results for the phase composition, structure and strength properties of porous Ti3SiC2-based materials. It is shown that the deformation and fracture mechanisms of porous composite Ti3SiC2-15 vol % TiC are associated with inter- and intragranular microdelamination. The material samples recover their original shape during cyclic compressive loading to a less than 1.45% strain
