Abstract: An in-situ synthesized TiC particle reinforced composite layer on Ti6Al4V were fabricated by laser induced reaction of the pre-placed mixed powders of Ti and Cr3C2. The microstructure of the composite layer was strongly related to the composition of original powders and also the laser processing parameters. Under certain processing parameters, the matrix of the composite layer was transferred from dualα+βto single phaseβwith increasing Cr3C2content in the
original powder mixture. The TiC particles were fine and uniformly dispersed in the matrix. Furthermore, the fine TiC particles show excellent compatibility with the matrix, thus offering good wear performance.
