摘要
In situ TiB reinforced titanium matrix composites (TMCs) were fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) of ball-milled Ti6Al4V-TiB2 powders. Optimized SLM processing and stress relief annealing were applied to obtain crack-free and fully dense composites. TiB reinforcement is mainly present in the form of whisker clusters and exhibits a quasi-continuous distribution in TMC1 (2 vol%TiB) while a full-continuous distribution in TMC2 (5 vol %TiB). The distribution of TiB whisker clusters in primary beta-Ti grain is not consistent with the complete dissolution mechanism proposed previously. As a result, a dual mechanism of direct reaction and precipitation has been put forward to describe the formation of TiB phase. The microhardness, compressive strength and tensile strength of TMC1 are improved by 14%, 36%, 25% respectively, compared with those of Ti6Al4V alloy. These enhancements can be mainly attributed to Hall-Petch strengthening and load-bearing transformation strengthening. The fracture surface of TMC1 after tensile testing shows a mixture of regions of cleavage facets with regions of small dimples.
