Abstract: Current scholarly investigations into the mechanisms underlying the role of ceramic particulate reinforcement within the context of laser additive manufacturing for metal matrix composites remain significantly constrained. This study employed selective laser melting (SLM) to fabricate TiCN-reinforced AlSi10Mg metal matrix composites (MMCs), and investigated the impact of varying scan speeds at a laser power of 300 W on the melt pool thermodynamics and particle motion behavior. A multiphase flow model incorporating solid, liquid, and gas phases was established, and by coupling the phase-field (PF) method with a particle tracking model, the particle motion was successfully simulated. The findings show that the numerical simulations agreed well with experimental results, validating the effectiveness of the constructed model. The SLM process consists of melting collapse, wetting spreading, and cooling solidification stages. Both the amplitude of melt pool surface fluctuations and melt pool velocity decrease with increasing scan speed. Vaporization recoil pressure, Marangoni forces, and surface tension are the primary driving forces of melt pool evolution, causing melt pool depression, vortex formation, and surface oscillations, respectively. Notably, Marangoni-induced vortices significantly influenced the rearrangement and dispersion of ceramic particles within the melt pool, providing an effective physical mechanism for controlling the uniform distribution of the reinforcement phase.
