High-Entropy Alloys

Klappentext

High-Entropy Alloys: Design, Manufacturing, and Emerging Applications presents cutting-edge advances in the field of high-entropy alloys (HEAs), covering the mechanics of these alloys, methods of manufacturing them, and their applications, all while emphasizing the link between their structure/microstructure and functional properties. The book starts with a section on the fundamentals of these materials, with chapters that discuss their thermodynamics, subgroups (transition metal; refractory; ceramics; metallic glasses and more), physical metallurgy, and microstructural characterization. The next section features chapters that look at manufacturing processes of HEAs, such as liquid metallurgy synthesis, in-situ synthesis, additive manufacturing, machine learning, friction stir welding, and fabrication of coatings for HEAs. The final section of the book covers applications of these materials, including their use as irradiation-resistant structural materials, catalyst materials, electrode materials, HEAs for solid hydrogen storage, and more.
