AbstractMulti-metal additive manufacturing enables the creation of multi-metal architectures that exceed the intrinsic property limits of single alloys by spatially combining complementary materials within a single component. Such capability is critical for next-generation aerospace systems, energy technologies, biomedical devices, and national defense applications. Despite its promise, the widespread use of multi-metal additive manufacturing is limited by cracking at dissimilar-metal interfaces, which
