In this study, the role of tantalum (Ta) on the phase transformation, microstructure evolution, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of titanium-tantalum (Ti–Ta) alloys in-situ fabricated via selective laser melting (SLM) was investigated. Ti–Ta mixed powders with different Ta ratios rangi...
