Strength–Ductility Balance in Additively Manufactured Laminated Fe‐Cr‐Ni/Fe‐Cr‐Ni‐Cu Alloy Heterostructures

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Fe‐Cr‐Ni‐Cu alloy has been extensively utilized over the past few decades due to its low cost yet high strength. Nevertheless, the poor ductility of this alloy limits its real application in industrial fields. In this study, a soft Fe‐Cr‐Ni alloy was combined with a Fe‐Cr‐Ni‐Cu alloy by laser‐directed energy deposition (LDED) to fabricate the ...
