Inspired by pressure resistance welding of metallic materials, herein we describe how two MAX phases— Ti 3 SiC 2 and Ti 3 AlC 2 —were successfully joined by a rapid electric current heating method in a pulsed electric current sintering furnace. No welding agent was employed and the total processing time was less than 6 min. When the bulk temperature of the joint couple exceeded 1070°C, good joints, with shear strength above 50 MPa, were achieved in both homo‐ and heterojunction joints.
