Abstract: As a revolutionary technology, additive manufacturing offers a promising path for producing components in near-net shape. We demonstrate the feasibility of fabricating high-performance alloy through tailored powder blending and post-treatment using the laser powder bed fusion technique. With the aid of first-principle calculation, we select commercially available Ti6Al4V alloy powder and CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy powder mixtures as raw materials for additive manufacturing. Appropriate post-treatment helps to mitigate strain-age cracking and heterogeneous grain boundary precipitation, contributing to the formation of high-density coherent L1 2 nanoprecipitates. By leveraging powder blending and post-treatment strategy, we achieved a significantly improved tensile strength (over 1.1 GPa) and sustained work-hardening without sacrificing tensile ductility (over 25 %). In particular, we find that Al and Co additions are critical for the stabilization of the L1 2 structure and suppress the brittle D0 24 -type Ni 3 Ti phase formation. The current work offers a promising outlook for preparing high-performance structural materials through powder blending and tailored post-treatment via additive manufacturing. • First-principle calculation aided raw materials combination designing for laser powder bed fusion. • Suitable post-treatment could mitigate strain-age cracking and heterogeneous grain boundary precipitation. • Appropriate powder blending and post-treatment strategy could significantly improve mechanical properties. • Al and Co additions help to stabilize the L12 structure and suppress the brittle D024-type Ni3Ti phase.
