Abstract

Journal of Composite Materials, Ahead of Print.
In this study, the influence of TiC reinforcement content on the tensile and fatigue behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy fabricated using the Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) process was investigated. Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-6Al-4V/TiC composites with different wt.% of ...
