【Abstract】Mo2Ga2C, a double-A-layer MAX, is reported to be films or powders. This paper researched the sintering properties of M2Ga2C powders to make dense bulk samples by vacuum hot-pressing sintering. It was found that 750 °C was a suitable sintering temperature, while higher temperature (850 °C) resulted in decomposition of Mo2Ga2C yielding to main product of Mo2C. During sintering process at 750 °C, its grain size did not increase obviously with sintering time; meanwhile, the size of pores decreased markedly and the relative density increased significantly with the increasing sintering time. Additionally, the hot-pressed samples had obvious texture. Due to layering, some grains changed their orientations during sintering, of which most of the (00l) planes in the hot-pressed samples preferred to be perpendicular to the direction of hot-pressing sintering. Almost fully dense Mo2Ga2C bulk (relative density: 98.8%) was obtained by hot-pressing sintering at 750 °C for 8 h. This advantage of the method suggests that it can serve as promising preparation for Mo2Ga2C, a double-A-layer MAX.
