Abstract Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing (AM) technology has become a versatile tool for producing new microstructures in metal components, offering novel mechanical properties for different applications. In this work, enhanced ductility (~55% elongation) and tunable mechanical anisotropy (ratio of ductility along vertical to horizontal orientation from ~0.2 to ~1) were achieved for a CoCrNi medium entropy alloy (MEA) by multi-scale synergistic microstructure manipulation (i.e., melt pool boundary, grain morphology and crystallographic texture) through adjusting key LPBF processing parameters (e.g., laser power and scan speed). By increasing the volumetric energy density (VED) from 68.3… More >
