The recent advances in additive manufacturing (AM) have led to printing of complex structural components. The highly non-equilibrium processing conditions encountered during direct metal laser melting (DMLM) frequently lead to micro-cracking in high-temperature capable Ni-superalloys, irrespective of processing conditions, limiting their current applicability. This paper aims to develop a general criterion to assess printability of a Ni-superalloy solely based on its composition. Thirty-four Ni-superalloys spanning a wide range of alloying elements were printed, each with twenty-four process conditions, and their crack densities were measured in order to have a consistent set of experimental data for building a model. The models available in literature for predicting cracking susceptibility were evaluated against the experimental data. Finally, a hybrid model, based on physics-based quantities, was built with the most significant input features (x’s). This model correlates well with the experimental data and is applicable across a wide range of Ni-superalloy compositions.
