摘要

Dense and crack-free eutectic Al16.2Co30.3Cr9.7Fe10.4Ni30.7W2.2C0.6 multi-principal element alloy (MPEA) was additively manufactured using powder bed fusion-laser beam (PBF-LB). The MPEA powders were produced by gas atomization using an in-house laboratory scale gas atomizer. PBF-LB parameters were optimized by exploring laser powers ranging from 200 to 350 W, and scan speeds varying from 300 to 1800 mm/s. The as-fabricated alloy exhibited a two-phase eutectic microstructure with alternating FCC and BCC phases interspersed by cellular dendrites. This unique nano-scale microstructure exhibited remarkable tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation of ~1.6 GPa, ~1.3 GPa, and ~10%, respectively. These are comparable to those reported for transition metal high entropy and/or multi-principal element alloys fabricated using either PBF-LB or traditional processing methods, underscoring the potential of this novel eutectic MPEA produced by additive manufacturing technology for engineering applications where stainless steels and Ni-base superalloys dominate.
