Abstract |
|
Metal matrix composites have been processed by selective laser sintering of metal-ceramic powder blends. The feasibility of manufacturing Al- and Ti-based composites reinforced with various ceramic particles has been assessed. The resulting microstructures are strongly dependent on the laser power and metal-ceramic reactivity. High laser power results in improved density. In-situ grown carbides develop during sintering in AlMg12–SiC and Ti-graphite systems. On the contrary, no discernible reaction has been observed in AlSi20–SiC and Ti-diamond systems. |
