The microstructure evolution mechanism of TiC/Ti6Al4V composites fabricated by ultrasonic energy field-assisted laser melting deposition

Key Points

• Microstructure evolution is significantly influenced by ultrasonic energy during laser melting deposition, enhancing material properties.
• Key evidence indicates that ultrasonic assistance leads to improved dispersal of TiC particles within the Ti6Al4V matrix.
• Assessment using ultrasonic energy field-assisted laser melting deposition supports a refined understanding of composite fabrication processes.
• This work calls for further investigation into practical applications, especially in aerospace and medical fields.
