Development of Yttria-stabilized zirconia reinforced Inconel 625 metal matrix composite by laser powder bed fusion

Strategies and Outlook on Metal Matrix Composites Produced Using Laser Powder Bed Fusion: A Review

“…The commonly used reinforcements include ceramic and metallic particles, as well as other nonspherical particles, such as metallic and ceramic fibers, carbon-based reinforcements (carbon fiber, (MW)CNT, and graphene), and whiskers [89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97]. The types of ceramic particles, widely employed in LPBF-fabricated MMCs, include SiC, SiO 2 , Si 3 N 4 , Al 2 O 3 , AlN, B 4 C, TiO 2 , TiC, TiB 2 , and ZrO 2 [89,94,[98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110]. In the case of metallic particles, W, Mo, Ti, Ni, Cu, Co, Al, Fe, Mg, etc., are generally reinforced to improve properties or address issues in LPBF [111][112][113][114].…”

“…In the case of metallic particles, W, Mo, Ti, Ni, Cu, Co, Al, Fe, Mg, etc., are generally reinforced to improve properties or address issues in LPBF [111][112][113][114]. Ceramic particles tend to exhibit harder and more brittle properties of MMCs in comparison with their metal counterparts [107,108,115,116]. They can provide excellent attributes, such as wear resis-tance, corrosion resistance, high-temperature stability, weight reduction, and lower thermal expansion coefficient, compared to metal reinforcements [117][118][119][120][121].…”
