Abstract
Carbon-fiber-reinforced metal-matrix composites (Ti6Al4V/CFs) were tailored by laser metal deposition. Ti6Al4V/CFs represents a Ti-based matrix, inside which distributed carbon fibers, prime crystal-like titanium carbide (TiC) precipitates, and secondary TiC precipitates were formed. The metal matrix was provided by α′ martensitic phase and needle-like TiC distributed into the prior β grains. Soaking for 1 h at a temperature of 950 °C, quenching in water obtain coagulation and spheroidization of the α-phase and a decrease in the size of the primary β grain. Wear resistance of Ti6Al4V/CFs by heat treatment was improved to compare Ti6Al4V specimens.
