| Abstract Scope |
Titanium metal matrix composites (MMCs) exhibit high strength and stiffness compared to conventional metal alloy materials and present a notable opportunity to gain mass efficiencies in applications where these characteristics can be beneficial such as the aerospace industry. Likewise, the development of metal additive manufacturing techniques has paved the way towards making these uniquely hard and lightweight materials increasingly viable in a manufacturing setting by permitting in-situ fabrication of delicate or complex geometries in these materials. In this work, we target eutectic compositions of Ti-B, Ti-Si, Ti-C and Ti-Fe based materials in an effort to minimize solidification cracking during selective laser melting, and will present the effect of composition on microstructure-mechanical property relationships of the MMCs developed to date. |
