In this study, laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF), also known as selective laser melting (SLM), was used to fabricate samples of titanium-tantalum (TiTa) alloys with 0, 10, 30 and 50 wt% of tantalum using in-situ alloying. As-fabricated samples comprised of randomly-dispersed pure tantalum particles in...
