Effect of cryogenic treatment on tribological behavior of Ti6Al4V alloy fabricated by selective laser melting

Nowadays, research on additive manufacturing of Ti6Al4V alloy is growing exponentially but there are just a few studies about additive manufacturing of metal matrix composite components. In this work, highly reinforced Ti6Al4V matrix composites with SiC particles have been additively manufactured by direct laser deposition (DLD). Ti6Al4V powder and SiC particles have been deposited layer by layer to form an additive thin wall structure. The geometry, microstructure, and microhardness of the samples are strongly influenced by the laser scanning speed used during de fabrication process. In addition, the effect of the SiC increment in reinforcement concentrations and the influence of SiC particle sizes in the microstructure have been evaluated, and the reaction mechanisms have been established. The percentage of reinforcement measured is lower than expected due to the reinforcement-matrix reactivity that results in partially dissolved SiC particles and the formation of a TiC and Si5Ti3 ring around them. The size and number of particles and reaction products depend on the initial size and percentage of reinforcement and the DLD scanning speed. The higher the size and percentage of SiC particles and reaction products in the matrix, the higher the hardening effect of the composite matrix. Graphic Abstract
