The ability to combine multiple materials (MM) into a single component to expand its range of functional properties is of tremendous value to the ceaseless optimization of engineering systems. Although fusion and solid-state joining techniques have been typically used to join dissimilar metals, additive manufacturing (AM) has the potential to produce MM parts with a complex spatial distribution of materials and properties that is otherwise unachievable. In this work, the selective laser melting (SLM) proces
