A recent article published in Nanomaterials demonstrated the use of WMoTaNb refractory high-entropy alloy as a reinforcement material to strengthen laser-cladding 316L stainless steel. 316L stainless ...

The bottom part of the image schematically shows the atomic-level alloying of the HEA, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. A recent study published in Engineering has delved into the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Liquid metals have long fascinated materials scientists due to their unique properties that bridge the gap between solid and liquid states of matter. These materials, which remain ...

A subzero ice recrystallization route creates multimetal high entropy aerogels and coatings with uniform element mixing, offering a low temperature path to porous macroscopic alloy structures.

We are surrounded by a variety of alloys in our everyday lives. Brass for example, is made from copper and zinc, while stainless steel is a mixture of iron and chromium. The majority of these alloys ...

Nanoparticles have been used to develop high-strength materials for structural applications. But these nanoparticles are often thermally unstable, leading to rapid coarsening in a high-temperature ...

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are promising materials for catalysis and energy storage, and at the same time they are extremely hard, heat resistant and demonstrate great variability in their magnetic ...

City University of Hong Kong researchers have accidentally discovered a first-of-its-kind alloy that retains its stiffness instead of softening as the temperature rises. Indeed, high-entropy Elinvar ...

The term “high entropy” refers to the fact that these alloys contain five or more elements in roughly equal amounts, resulting in a complex microstructure and high configurational entropy. This high ...

Compare popular steel alloys used in modern engineering. Learn where A36, 4140, 304 stainless, A572 Grade 50, and 2205 duplex ...
