N2 - This work investigates the compatibility of Zr2AlC MAX phase-based ceramics with liquid LBE,
and proposes a mechanism to explain the observed local Zr2AlC/LBE interaction. The ceramics
were exposed to oxygen-poor (CO 2.210-10 mass%), static liquid LBE at 500°C for 1000 h. A
new Zr2(Al,Bi,Pb)C MAX phase solid solution formed in-situ in the LBE-affected Zr2AlC grains.
Out-of-plane ordering was favorable in the new solid solution, whereby A-layers with high and
low-Bi/Pb contents alternated in the crystal structure, in agreement with first-principles
calculations. Bulk Zr2(Al,Bi,Pb)C was synthesized by reactive hot pressing to study the crystal
structure of the solid solution by neutron diffraction.
