A study has been made of the physicomechanical properties of a heterogeneous material based on TiB, TiB2, TiC, and B4C ceramics and a Ti–6Al–4V metal alloy formed by the method of selective laser melting. Consideration has been given to the influence of TiB, TiB2, TiC, and B4C ceramic particles produced by in situ synthesis in the process of laser action on the microstructure and hardness of the formed metal-matrix composite. Basic mechanisms of variation in the microstructure to form secondary ceramic inclusions were discussed and microhardness measurements at a macro- and nanolevel were carried out. It has been established that ceramic particles formed as a result of the in-situ synthesis improve sharply the hardness of the metal-matrix composite depending on the composition of the ceramics.
