Fabrication of WCp/NiBSi metal matrix composite by electron beam melting

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A blend of NiBSi and WC powders was used as raw material for fabricating a metal matrix composite (MMC) by electron beam melting (EBM). Dense and crack-free microstructure was produced with evenly distributed WC reinforcements. Mechanical properties, including macro- and micro-hardness, flexural strength, impact toughness and compressive strength, were investigated.
