Additive manufacturing (AM) holds the potential to revolutionize the alloy manufacturing sector through its ability to provide unprecedented control over the design of alloy microstructures during manufacturing. However, the main roadblock preventing its widespread adoption is the inability to design microstructures with desired mechanical responses. An AM process results in the formation of hierarchical microstructures that are extremely sensitive to the process parameters. Minor changes to these parameters can result in very different microstructures that exhibit significant differences in their mechanical response at multiple length scales. Controlling the mechanical response of…
