This research work provides information about the influence of Ti2AlC MAX phase coatings on the
erosion resistance of Ti624 2alloy.Flat specimens were coated witha20 µm Ti2AlC film using an industrial siz emagnetron sputtering coater and annealed at 800 °C for 1h in vacuum for the formation of the MAX phase.The erosion resistance of the specimens was tested using high velocity particles at room
temperature.The results indicate that the erosion resistance of Ti6242 has been significantly enhanced
by the employment of MAX-phase coatings. This demonstrates the capability of using MAX phase
coatings as erosion protective medium for engine components exposed to similar damage conditions.
Additionally,the results show that uncoated Ti6242 samples with duplex microstructure have a better
durability against erosion attack compared to uncoated samples with globular microstructure.
