Abstract
A hybrid laser composed of infrared and blue laser is applied in fabricating TiB2/AlSi7Mg composites on AlSi7Mg substrate by LPBF. The effect on formability, molten pool morphology, molten pool size and microstructure under infrared, blue and hybrid laser were compared. It was confirmed that hybrid laser can make up for the unbalanced energy distribution of infrared laser and the low energy density of blue laser. The increased energy input improves the molten pool size and cellular dendrites size. Therefore, the hybrid laser can improve the formability and forming stability in the LPBF process of low absorption rate alloys.
