Abstract

Owing to its high temperature strength， high ductility and good corrosion resistance， Inconel 718 （IN718） alloy had broad application prospects in aerospace， military and energy fields. However， the low hardness and wear resistance of IN718 alloy severely limited its application. To solve these problems， one of the feasible strategies was to modify the composition/microstructure of IN718 alloy. Laser additive manufacturing methods had the capabilities of effectively regulating the composition and microstructure of composite materials， so as to enhance their mechanical performances. Herein， the intrinsic properties and compositional modification strategies of IN718-matrix composites were first introduced， and then the advantages and limitations of laser-additive-manufactured IN718-matrix composites were summarized， respectively. Subsequently， the evolution laws of microstructural morphologies and mechanical performances of IN718-matrix composites prepared by laser additive manufacturing methods were summarized. Finally， the key scientific problems in modifying the preparation method， regulating microstructure and optimizing mechanical performances of IN718-matrix composites were respectively clarified， and the future developments were prospected.
