Enabling stronger eutectic high-entropy alloys with larger ductility by 3D printed directional lamellae

TL;DR: In this article, a strategy for simultaneously improving the strength and ductility of EHEAs by introducing directional eutectic cells with ultrafine two-phase lamellae, whose formation is different from single-phase solidified alloys like superalloys and depends strongly on 3D printing process control.
