Abstract

A titanium-based composite coating reinforced by in situ synthesized TiB whiskers and TiC particles was successfully fabricated on Ti6Al4V by laser cladding. The coating is mainly composed of α-Ti cellular dendrites and a eutectic in which a large number of needle-shaped TiB whiskers and a few equiaxial TiC particles are uniformly embedded. The wear resistance of the coating is significantly superior to that of Ti6Al4V under the dry sliding wear condition at room temperature.
