A novel laser additive manufacturing method is proposed to manufacture the agglomeration-free nanoscale TiC-reinforced titanium-matrix composites by in-situ compounding the reinforcement via gas–liquid reaction. The clean interface and strong interfacial bonding between the in-situ nanoscale TiC rei...
