Abstract Scope Eutectic high-entropy alloys (EHEAs) offer an exceptional combination of strength and ductility due to their characteristic lamellar microstructures consisting of alternating strong BCC and ductile FCC phases. In this work, the AlCoCrFeNi2.1 EHEA was fabricated via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), which enables precise control of microstructural features such as phase spacing and grain refinement. Strain-controlled low-cycle fatigue (LCF) tests revealed superior fatigue life compared to conventional alloys and traditional HEAs, particularly in the low-strain-amplitude regime. To uncover the underlying mechanisms responsible for this performance, in-situ neutron diffraction was employed to investigate phase-specific lattice-strain evolution during cyclic loading. This approach, combined with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and theoretical modeling, provides a comprehensive understanding of how deformation is partitioned between the BCC and FCC phases and how this influences cyclic hardening, load transfer, and fatigue damage accumulation. These findings offer critical insights into the design of fatigue-resistant, additively manufactured high-entropy alloys.
