Abstract

In-situ weld-alloying/laser beam welding was utilized to join SiCp/6061Al metallic matrix composites with titanium as alloying element. Microstructure of the weld is characterized as functions of alloying content and laser processing parameters. The results show that the needle-like harmful phase Al4C3 is completely eliminated and a novel composite reinforced by TiC and Ti5Si5 is produced.
