In this paper, a laser-based directed energy deposition (DED) technique is used to fabricate FeCoNiCr and CrMnFeCoNi multi-principal-element alloys (MPEAs). Comparing the above samples, the FeCoNiCr samples with coarse columnar grains cracked, while the CrMnFeCoNi samples with equiaxed grain were crack-free. The strategy that removes cracks is to induce a columnar-grain-to-equiaxed-grain transition (CET) with Mn addition to offer more grain boundaries to withstand residual stress in the process of DED-fabricated FeCoNiCr and to help minimize hot cracking. Furthermore, the yield strength, tensile strength, and tensile ductility of the DED-fabricated CrMnFeCoNi obviously improved compared with the DED-fabricated CoCrFeNi and exhibited better isotropic mechanical properties. The present work provides a novel strategy to utilize CET for resisting crack propagation in the process DED-fabricated MPEAs and improvement in mechanical properties of MPEAs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
