 This study investigates the effect of laser incident energy on the densification, microstructure, texture evolution, and mechanical properties of CR-CoNI thin-walled parts manufactured by directed energy deposition, DED. The results show that the forward slash forward slash BD crystallographic orientation is slightly enhanced with increasing laser incident energy, while yield strength decreases. Anisotropy in yield strength and ultimate tensile strength remains relatively unchanged. Additionally, there are differences in fracture morphology and microcrack characteristics between building and scanning directions, which provide important theoretical basis for selecting DED process parameters.
