Laser melting deposition (LMD) is a robust technique for fabricating complex diamond-reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs). However, the graphitization of diamond particles and the large mismatch in coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) degrade interfacial bonding. Here, we presented an interfacial strengthening strategy leveraging the synergistic effects of thermal protection and in-situ matrix strengthening. This was achieved by constructing W
Ni and W
Co dual-layer coatings on diamond particles within a FeCoCrNiAl0.5 high-entropy alloy (HEA) matrix. The W interlayer ensured bonding by forming WC carbides and acting as a thermal barrier, while the outer Ni/Co layers induced face-centered cubic (FCC) to body-centered cubic (BCC) phase transformation. The Ni layer promoted lamellar BCC phase, whereas the Co layer refined BCC grains into fine granular structures. In the composites with coated diamond, interfacial residual stresses were decreased from ∼1274 MPa to ∼917 MPa for W
Ni coating and to ∼765 MPa for W
Co coating. The coefficient of friction of composites dropped from ∼0.40 to ∼0.28 for W
Ni coating and to ∼0.19 for W
Co coating. Multiscale analysis indicated that both coatings enhanced interfacial bonding by regulating phase transformation and grain morphology, with the W
Co coating exhibiting superior interfacial compatibility. First-principles calculations quantitatively confirmed relevant mechanisms. This work provides a theoretical framework for fabricating crack-resistant diamond composites via laser additive manufacturing.
