In the current study, the sintering and mechanical properties of the Cr2AlC MAX phase synthesized by Spark plasma sintering at 1000, 1100, and 1200°C were investigated. The X‐ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed that the synthesis of the Cr2AlC MAX phase was associated with the presence of impurities such as Cr7C3 and Al2O3. On the basis of the FESEM images equipped with energy dispersive spectrometer,...
