abstract = {Solute enrichment at lattice defects is a well-established
phenomenon for promoting phase transformations. Metal
additive manufacturing (AM) inherently enables this by
promoting cellular structures during solidification and
thermal cycling. Cellular structures exhibit compositional
and lattice defect density variations between cell cores and
boundaries, leading to site-specific phase-transformation
(e.g., precipitation) behavior that can be selectively
activated by post-AM heat treatments. Despite this
potential, cellular structures have largely been treated as
byproducts rather than intentionally exploited alloy design
features. Guided by these insights, we designed a model
Al10.5Co25Fe39.5Ni25 multi-principal element alloy to
intentionally control composition and thus, precipitation
driving forces across cellular structures. The alloy
composition was computationally selected to promote
segregation of a fast-diffusing, precipitate-forming element
into the interdendritic regions during solidification in the
laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M) process. This segregation
aligned with dislocation walls at cell boundaries, creating
a “pre-conditioned” state with enhanced chemical driving
force and reduced nucleation barrier for precipitation. This
targeted design enabled site-specific nucleation and growth
of precipitates at cell boundaries during aging.
Comprehensive multiscale characterization complemented by in
situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction confirmed that cellular
structures accelerated precipitation, increased precipitate
volume fraction and refined the precipitate size compared to
the reference state where cellular structures were removed
via solution annealing before aging. As a result, the alloy
achieved enhanced yield strength (122.2 $\%$ increase), and
improved tensile properties compared to the reference state.
These findings demonstrate the potential of harnessing
cellular structures as functional components to control
microstructure evolution in precipitation strengthened AM
alloys.},
