The effect of vacuum annealing on the thermal stability and phase transition of Ti 3 SiC 2 has been investigated by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), neutron diffraction, synchrotron radiation diffraction, and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). In the presence of vacuum or a controlled atmosphere of low oxygen partial pressure, Ti 3 SiC 2 undergoes a surface dissociation to form nonstoichiometric TiC and/or Ti 5 Si 3 C x that commences at ∼1200°C and becomes very pronounced at ≥1500°C. Composition depth profiling at the near surface of vacuum‐annealed Ti 3 SiC 2 by XRD and SIMS revealed a distinct gradation in the phase distribution of TiC and Ti 5 Si 3 C x with depth.
