a SEM and EDS of the CuAlSn fabricated by rapid melt printing. b EBSD of CuAlSn, showing a major FCC phase (~94.1 vol.%) and a small fraction of minor phases containing Sn (~5.9 vol.%). c Schematics of the fabrication of the CuAlSn alloy by slow heating with severe Sn loss compared to the negligible Sn loss during rapid melt printing. d Schematic of practical MPEA 3D printing using our ultrahigh-temperature rapid melt printing platform as a heating source.
