Abstract
This disclosure, and the exemplary embodiments provided herein, include AM processed Ti-MMCs reinforced with either aluminum oxide or tantalum pentoxide. According to an exemplary embodiment, composite feedstock powders of Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) with 1% and 3% (by volume) reinforce­ments of either nano-Al₂O₃ or Ta₂O₅ are prepared by high energy ball milling and then 3-D printed using SLM.
