About This Topic
The development of high entropy alloys (HEAs) in the last few decades has advanced several, engineering, manufacturing, and academic sectors over traditional alloy products in a variety of applications. HEAs have one remarkable trait that sets them apart from conventional alloys based on one or two primary elements: an extraordinarily high entropy of mixing. The ability to produce configurationally entropy-tailored products with desirable properties opens new opportunities not only for traditional but other advanced areas such as 3D manufacturing applications in aerospace and biomedical implants. HEA development has thus evolved in different important stages such as equiatomic solid solution structures, near non-equiatomic multiphase and/or compositionally complex alloys, entropy-derived thin films, hard oxide and carbide coatings, lightweight alloys, and composites, etc., Deeper study on HEAs is desperately needed now.
This special issue provides a thorough overview of current developments in HEAs, different routes of manufacturing adopted for HEAs fabrication, microstructural evolution, and performance study correlation, novel 3D printed HEAs, for diverse engineering applications. These ground-breaking investigations will offer fresh approaches to resolving difficult issues and create fresh opportunities for learning and applying new research outcomes.
