Abstract
`In-situ' weld-alloying/laser beam welding is utilized to join SiC particle reinforced aluminum alloy metal matrix composite (SiCp/Al MMC) with titanium as the alloying element. Microstructure of the weld is characterized as functions of alloying content and processing parameters. Formation of the needle-like Al4C3 phase is suppressed and a composite reinforced by TiC and Ti5Si3 phase is produced in the laser welded joint on SiCp/Al MMC by weld-alloying with titanium. It is demonstrated that `in-situ' weld-alloying/laser beam welding is a promising processing method for joining of SiCp/Al MMCs.
