High Entropy Alloys: Innovations, Advances, and Applications

This book provides a cohesive overview of innovations, advances in processing and characterization, and applications for high entropy alloys (HEAs) in performance-critical and non-performance-critical sectors. It covers manufacturing and processing, advanced characterization and analysis techniques, and evaluation of mechanical and physical properties. With chapters authored by a team of internationally renowned experts, the volume includes discussions on high entropy thermoelectric materials, corrosion and thermal behavior of HEAs, improving fracture resistance, fatigue properties and high tensile strength of HEAs, HEA films, and more. This work will be of interest to academics, scientists, engineers, technologists, and entrepreneurs working in the field of materials and metals development for advanced applications.

Features

• Addresses a broad spectrum of HEAs and related aspects, including manufacturing, processing, characterization, and properties
• Emphasizes the application of HEAs
• Aimed at researchers, engineers, and scientists working to develop materials for advanced applications
