In-situ synthesis with laser metal deposition (LMD) of Ti-6Al-4V-ELI braced with discontinuous particulates of TiC resulted in improved hardness and microstructure. It is reported that an increase in the feed rate of TiC during the LMD process directly increases the hardness of the TiC/Ti-6Al-4V-ELI composite and refine the grain size of Ti-6Al4V-ELI.
