Enhanced strength and ductility of metal composites with intragranularly dispersed reinforcements by additive manufacturing

Reinforcements in metal composites are usually dispersed at grain boundaries. We here show that the rapid solidification during laser additive manufacturing enables the spontaneous engulfment of reinforcing particles inside aluminum grains, which helps to decouple the stress concentration induced by...
