In order to refine the microstructure and improve the performance of direct energy deposited (DED) additively manufactured Al-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy, TiC-modified Al-Mg-Sc-Zr composites were prepared by DED and the effect of TiC content on the microstructure and performance was studied. In the absence of TiC particle, the microstructure of Al-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy prepared by DED consisted of fine grains with average size of 8.36 μm, and well-dispersed nano-Al_3 (Sc,Zr) particles inside the grains and Mg_2 Si phase along the grain boundaries. With the addition of 1 wt% TiC, the microstructure of TiC/Al-Mg-Sc-Zr prepared by DED became finer apparently compared with that without TiC; while the further increase of TiC content to 3 wt%, the microstructure of TiC/Al-Mg-Sc-Zr prepared by DED became coarser with appearance of a new kind of needle-like (Ti,Zr)_5 Si_3 phase. Also, the addition of TiC decreased the porosity of Al-Mg-Sc-Zr prepared by DED. Simultaneously, after the addition of TiC, the tensile strength increased from 283.25 MPa to 344.98-361.51 MPa, and the elongation increased from 3.61% to 9.58-14.10%. The potential mechanism of the microstructure evolution and strength improvement was discussed. This research will provide new insights into the available metal matrix composites by laser additive manufacturing (LAM).
