The addition of hard ceramic particles of nc-(Ti,Mo)C in carbon network into Ti matrix has been Pre-Rolled proved to be an efficient way to enhance their properties.The purpose of this work was to analyze the corrosion, tribological, mechanical and morphological effects of combining nc-(Ti,Mo)C/C with titanium metal, to create a unique composite via selective laser melting technique (SLM).Composites with different weight percentage (5, 10 and 20 wt %) of ceramic phase were produced.

The samples of pure Ti and Ti-6Al-4V Art Print alloy were also tested, as a reference.These composites were examined for corrosion resistance in body fluid (artificial saliva solution).Moreover, the properties of titanium composites reinforced with nc-TiC powders were compared.

It was stated that mechanical properties were significantly improved with increasing amount of nc-(Ti,Mo)C/C in Ti matrix.In terms of corrosion resistance, the composites showed worse properties compared to pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy, but better than TiC-reinforced composites.
