“…7,8,9,[18][19][20][21][22][23] Ternary carbides have outstanding properties for high-temperature applications, such as low density, high strength, low thermal expansion coefficient, high resistance to thermal shock, good thermal conductivity, and hydration resistance. [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Considerable research efforts have been performed to develop alternative antioxidants with optimized properties and less drawbacks, and the exploration and application of single ternary carbide, such as Al 4 O 4 C, "Al 8 B 4 C 7 ," Al 4 SiC 4 , Ti 3 AlC 2 , and Ti 3 SiC 2 , have been proved to have benefits. 25,27,[29][30][31] Besides the usage of single antioxidant, the combination of two antioxidants like B 4 C-Al additions has also been developed 32 ; the advantage of this type of antioxidants is that they protect carbon oxidation more effectively than the single one.…”
