A combination of laser sintering/melting and induction heating techniques is used to fabricate ZrB2–Zr ceramic–metal composite (cermet) 3-D structures using layer by layer deposition. It is shown that the interface between layers comprises an ~20µm thick Zr-rich phase near the remelted zone. The starting powder mixtures consist of 30–50wt.% Zr, which is used to assist binding of ZrB2particles. Sintered objects have densities >95% of theoretical values and have microhardness values up to 16.0GPa. ZrB2–Zr cermet may reduce the likelihood of mechanical failures by increasing toughness and impact resistance contributed from the continuous Zr matrix, yet preserve good abrasive characteristics provided by ZrB2grains. The proposed method allows fabricating complex-shaped structures, and joining or repairing objects made from analogous ultra-high temperature materials.
