摘要 | Processing titanium(Ti)-basedmaterials in high-concentration nitrogen gas (N-2) atmosphere is creditedwith reducing ductility/plasticity arising from the excessive formation of brittle agglomerated TiN. However processing these materials in dilute N-2 may reduce the risk. In this study, a novel method is developed for laser additive manufacturing of in-situ synthesized TiN and AlN co-reinforced Ti6Al4V matrix composites (NTMCs) by the gas-liquid reaction in low-concentration N-2 atmospheres. The manufacturing process of the NTMCs involves melting Ti6Al4V powders followed by laser-induced pyrolysis of N-2 near the melt pool. The process is facilitated by the reaction between the decomposed nitrogen and molten Ti6Al4V, dissolution and precipitation of nitrides, and formation of the composites layer-by-layer. The formation of the nitride precipitates was verified by XRD, SEM, EDS, and HR-TEM. Such in-situ synthesized nanoscale reinforcements exhibited good dispersion and strong interfacial bonding with thematrix alloy in the composites. Themicrohardness, 0.2% compressive yield strength, and ultimate compressive strength of the NTMCs significantly increased with increasing N-2 concentration in additive manufacturing; their maxima were 511 HV, 1721 MPa, and 2010 MPa, respectively, increased by 36.3%, 67.9%, and 16.8% from those of the Ti6Al4V alloy. The formation and strengthening mechanisms of the NTMCs were elucidated. (c) 2021 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.
