Surface Functionalization Of Al-Ti-Mg Powders With Boron Nanoparticles To Enable In-Situ TiB2 Formation During Laser Powder Bed Fusion
This study investigates a new powder surface functionalization approach to promote in-situ TiB2 formation during Laser Powder Bed Fusion of an Al-Ti-Mg alloy. The powder surface was decorated with 0.5wt.% boron nanoparticles through a fluidized-bed process, eliminating the need for ex-situ TiB2 additions. EBSD results...
