Mo4VAlC4 MAX Phase Powder Type 514 86 wt% ATOMFAIR®

This Mo4VAlC4 MAX phase ceramic powder (Type 514, 86 wt% purity, 1–20 µm lateral size) offers a quaternary MAX phase composition for high-temperature structural and electronic applications, but its moderate purity and broad particle size distribution impose constraints on reproducibility in precision thin-film or sintering processes.

Positive

• Quaternary MAX phase composition: Mo4VAlC4 provides a unique combination of metallic conductivity and ceramic oxidation resistance, suitable for exploratory research in high-temperature electronics or structural composites.
• Research-grade powder form: Supplied as a black powder with 1–20 µm lateral size, this material is ready for direct use in solid-state synthesis, slurry coating, or spark plasma sintering trials without additional milling.

Trade-offs

• Moderate purity level: At 86 wt% purity, the powder contains ~14 wt% secondary phases or impurities, which may interfere with phase-pure property measurements or require post-processing purification for critical applications.
• Broad particle size distribution: The 1–20 µm lateral size range introduces variability in packing density and sintering behavior, necessitating sieving or sedimentation for experiments requiring narrow size fractions.
