Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the past decade, the sudden rise of high entropy alloys (HEAs) has become a research hotspot in the domain of metal materials. HEAs are generally considered to be composed of five or more principal elements and the atomic percentage of each principal element is between 5 at.% and 35 at.%. This unique design concept means that these alloys exhibit high entropy effects in regard to thermodynamics and other characteristics, such as the lattice distortion effect, the sluggish diffusion effect and cocktail effect. Owing to their remarkable and peculiar characteristics, HEAs exhibit excellent properties, such as balanced strength and ductility, wear resistance, anti-oxidation and outstanding corrosion resistance.

We invite researchers to contribute to this Special Issue on “High Entropy Alloys”, which is intended to serve as a unique multidisciplinary forum, covering broad aspects of the science, technology, and application of high entropy alloys.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Synthesis of high entropy alloys;
  • Characteristics of structural properties;
  • Excellent properties;
  • Applications.

This study investigates the effects of aluminum and nitrogen content on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and tribological performance of high-entropy coatings based on (TiCrAlxNbY)Ny systems. Using a hybrid magnetron sputtering technique, both metallic and nitride coatings were synthesized and evaluated. Increasing the aluminum concentration led to a transition from a crystalline to a nanocrystalline and nearly amorphous (NC/A) structure, with the TiAl0.5CrNbY sample (11.8% Al) exhibiting the best balance of hardness (6.8 GPa), elastic modulus (87.1 GPa), and coefficient of friction (0.64). The addition of nitrogen further enhanced these properties, transitioning the coatings to a denser fine-grained FCC structure. The HN2 sample (45.8% nitrogen) displayed the highest hardness (21.8 GPa) but increased brittleness, while the HN1 sample (32.9% nitrogen) provided an optimal balance of hardness (14.3 GPa), elastic modulus (127.5 GPa), coefficient of friction (0.60), and wear resistance (21.2 × 10−6 mm3/Nm). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy revealed improved corrosion resistance for the HN1 sample due to its dense microstructure. Overall, the (TiAl0.5CrNbY)N0.5 coating achieved the best performance for friction applications, such as break and clutch systems, requiring high coefficients of friction, high wear resistance, and durability.

Focal research has been conducted on medium-entropy alloys (MEAs) that exhibit a balanced combination of strength and plasticity. In this study, the microstructure, dynamic mechanical properties, and texture evolution of an as-cast medium-entropy CoCr0.4NiSi0.3 alloy were investigated through dynamic compression tests at strain rates ranging from 2100 to 5100 s−1 using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar in order to elucidate the underlying dynamic deformation mechanism. The results revealed a significant strain rate effect with dynamic compressive yield strengths of 811 MPa at 2100 s−1, 849 MPa at 3000 s−1, 919 MPa at 3900 s−1, and 942 MPa at 5100 s−1. Grains were dynamically refined from 19.73 to 3.35 μm with increasing strain rates. The correlation between adiabatic temperature rise induced by dynamic compression and dynamic recrystallization was examined, revealing that the latter is not associated with adiabatic heating but rather with phase transition triggered by the dynamic stress during compression. The proportion of Σ3n (1 ≤ n ≤ 3) grain boundaries in deformation specimens increases with increasing strain rates during dynamic compression. The formation of specific three-node structures enhances both strength and plasticity by impeding crack propagation and resisting higher mechanical stress. In the as-cast state, significant anisotropy was observed in the MEA. As strain rates increased, it transited into a stable {111}<112> F texture. The exceptional dynamic properties of strength and plasticity observed in the as-cast state of the MEA can be attributed to a deformation mechanism involving a transition from dislocation slip to the formation of intricate arrangements, accompanied by interactions encompassing deformation nanotwins, stacking faults, Lomer–Cottrell locks, stair-rods, and displacive phase transformations at elevated strain rates.

The Al-Si-Cr-Co-Ni High Entropy Alloy (HEA) with low density (about 5.4 g/cm3) and excellent performance had significant potential in the lightweight engineering material field. To further research and optimize the Al-Si-Cr-Co-Ni system HEA, the influences of element Cr on the microstructures and performances of lightweight AlSi0.5CrxCo0.2Ni (in mole ratio, x = 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, and 1.8) HEAs were investigated. The experiment results manifested that AlSi0.5CrxCo0.2Ni HEAs were composed of A2 (Cr-rich), B2 (Ni-Al), and Cr3Si phases, indicating that the addition of Cr did not result in the formation of a new phase. However, ample Cr increased the Cr3Si phase composition, further ensuring the high hardness (average HV 981.2) of HEAs. Electrochemical tests demonstrated that HEAs with elevated Cr3Si and A2 phases afforded greater corrosion resistance, and the improvement in corrosion was more pronounced when x > 1.6. This work is crucial in the development of lightweight engineering HEAs, which are of tremendous practical utility in the fields of cutting tools, hard coating, etc. Full article

Refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) exhibit outstanding softening resistance and thermal stability at elevated temperatures. Unfortunately, poor ductility at room temperature has remained the critical issue for their processability and practical application. In this study, an original-type fabrication method of RHEA was proposed, using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to enhance the alloy prepared via laser melting deposition (LMD) technology. The processing optimization, microstructure evolution and mechanical properties were systematically investigated for LMD processing of CNTs/CoCrMoNbTi0.4 RHEA. The results have shown that CNTs/CoCrMoNbTi0.4 RHEA have a polycrystalline structure (BCC, HCP, and TiC). As the optimal LMD-processing parameters of laser linear energy density of 3.6 J/mm were applied, owing to the formation of high densification and an ultrafine microstructure, the fully dense LMD-processed alloy exhibited high microhardness of 1015 HV0.5, fracture strength of 2110.5 MPa, and fracture strain of 2.39%. The solid solution strengthening and load transfer are considered as the main strengthening mechanisms occurring simultaneously during compressive tests at room temperature, leading to excellent mechanical properties of LMD-processed CNTs/CoCrMoNbTi0.4 RHEA, which explores the potential application of RHEAs.
