About this title

Synopsis

High-Entropy Alloys: Design, Manufacturing, and Emerging Applications presents cutting-edge advances in the field of these materials, covering their mechanics, methods of manufacturing, and applications, all while emphasizing the link between their structure/microstructure and functional properties.

The book starts with a section on the fundamentals of high-entropy alloys (HEAs), with chapters discussing their thermodynamics, subgroups (transition metal; refractory; ceramics; metallic glasses and more), physical metallurgy, and microstructural characterization. The next section features chapters which 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. The book is a key resource for academic researchers, grad students, and industry professionals working with HEAs across a range of disciplines and applications including aerospace, functional materials, catalyst materials, gas storage, sensing, super-conducting materials, biomedical, civil engineering, energy storage, and energy materials.

• Covers the mechanics, manufacturing, and applications of functionally-oriented high-entropy alloys (HEAs)
• Discusses the metallurgical composition of HEAs, their microstructural characterization, thermal stability, and how to manufacture them via powder metallurgy, additive manufacturing, and friction stir welding
• Reviews applications of HEAs such as for irradiation-resistant structural materials, in biomedical settings, as catalyst materials, for solid hydrogen storage, and more
