Introducing 0.1 HCl to the anodizing solution at temperatures above 50 oC wasfound to break the MAX phase passivation. However, the required denies oxidelayer that is required for the self-healing was not obtained

The breaking potential of the passive layer was found to shifted more negatively byincreasing the temperature or the HCl concentration

It was found that once this layer break up the corrosion of the Ti2AlC proceedin a very fast rate and the corrosion product is not adherent to the basematerials and therefore can not be used for healing the crack.

Attacking the materials surface by the electrolyte solutionto form filling materials from the bulk substrate needsvigorous conditions, and controlling the anodizationreaction is very difficult under such conditions.
This results showed clearly that the cracked surfaceperform differently than the defect-free surface towardthe applied current.
Controlling the electrochemical process for the area
around the crack was proved to be possible. A crack of 4mm length and width up to 100 micron wasfilled by amorphous carbon-base material

Future work Phase I: Optimizing the anodization process by varying the
operating parameters. Electrolytes that have ions of the MAX matrixions should also be tested in the this phase.
Phase II: Testing the ability of healing the crack by depositing Alfrom ionic liquids.
Phase III: Investigating the electrophoretic deposition of aluminumand titanium carbides in the crack as a method of healing Al-Ti-baseMAXs.
Phase IV: investigate the deposition of Al and TI complexes ions in
the crack followed by controlled thermal dissociation to form oxidesor oxy-carbides.

Ti2AlC and Cr2AlC: how different
they are under corrosive conditions
Different cycles of potentiodynamic polarization were applied on the surface of
Ti2AlC and Cr2AlC in NaCl solution at room temperature between -1 to 2 Vversus Ag/AgCl reference. The potential sweep rate was fixed at 10 mV s 1 forall cycles. Between one cycle and the next, the sample was washed in water for
3 hours to remove any attached salt
