The microstructures of single tracks were investigated to determine the optimal parameters for LMD. Besides, the influence of the SiC content on the microstructural evolutions and mechanical properties was explored. Results demonstrate that the in-situ reaction occurs between SiC and titanium during the LMD process. In-situ TiC and Ti 5 Si 3 were distributed uniformly at grain boundaries and titanium matrix with a full columnar grains for 0.5 wt.% and 1.0 wt.% SiC addition. The morphology of the composites consists of equiaxed grains with a three-dimensional quasi-continuous network structure when the content of SiC increases to 1.5 wt.% and 3.0 wt.%. The hardness of the composites is 321.1, 342.3, 347.8, and 442.1 Hv with the increasing formation of reinforcements. Meanwhile, the average coefficient of friction decreases from 0.39 to 0.32 with the wear mechanism changing from abrasion to adhesive wear. © 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
