Recent substantial studies indicate that high-entropy alloys (HEAs) possess superior mechanical performance, including exceptional strength, high creep resistance, etc. However, additive manufacturing (AM), a burgeoning manufacturing method, may induce extraordinary impacts on the resulting mechanical properties. For the additively manufactured (AM-ed) HEAs, the nanoscale mechanical performance and deformation mechanisms in accordance with the microstructural properties remain unclear. In this work, the microstructure and nanomechanical properties of an AM-ed (CrCoNiFe)₉₄Ti₂Al₄ HEA were investigated. The local mechanical properties including hardness, elastic modulus, and nanoscale creep deformation, were explored by nanoindentation-based measurement. Simultaneously, the crystallographic orientation dependence on the mechanical behavior of AM-ed HEA was carried out by combining …
