Development of ceramics reinforced Inconel 718 composites by selective laser melting by Luu, Duy Nghia

“…Due to the high number of nano-sized precipitates in both composite types, grain coarsening was also reduced substantially due to the Zener pinning mechanism. The addition of TiC particles also contributed to the reduction of solute segregation at the grain boundary and the susceptibility to hot cracking by absorbing the solute materials (Nb and Mo) through Ostwald ripening mechanism. …”
