Laser cladding
is a method that can be used to form metal matrix composite
Creates a small heat affected zone Melts the powder and substrate Mixture of powder can be pre-place (pre-place
method) or fed by nozzle into the melt pool (dynamic blow method)

What is “in-situ” laser cladding?
Heating combined pure powders under a laser heat source generates chemical reaction which produces the desired metal matrix of ceramic reinforcement;
Fe+Ti+C Fe + TiC

Introduction

In-situ process advantages
Particles are thermodynamically stable in the metal matrix
Reinforcing’ size can be controlled Rapid solidification can produce finely dispersed
ceramic particles High metal/ceramic bond strength (i.e. matrix can
transfer the applied stress, easily)
Introduction
9
Why TiC?
TiC has:
High melting point (3067º C)
High Young Modules High specific strength
High hardness (3000 HVN) 30% greater than WC
Low density (WC is almost 3 times heavier)

Literature review

Have mostly focused on pre-place method Mainly used Ni or Co alloys as a binder Did not explain TiC formation mechanism Did not investigate the relationship between clad
microstructure and laser processing condition Produced carbides which are combination of Ni, Fe,
Co, Cr, B or Si. Variety of carbides other than TiC are produced in a complex solidification process
