High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted great attention because they provide diversified
possibilities for obtaining many exceptional properties. They are expected to serve as …

In human-made malleable materials, microdamage such as cracking usually limits material
lifetime. Some biological composites, such as bone, have hierarchical microstructures that …

Refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) are designed for high elevated-temperature
strength, with both edge and screw dislocations playing an important role for plastic …

Simultaneously enhancing strength and ductility of metals and alloys has been a
tremendous challenge. Here, we investigate a CoCuFeNiPd high-entropy alloy (HEA), using …

characteristics and outstanding properties. The synthesis of high-entropy compounds …

Body-centered-cubic (BCC) refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) are being actively
pursued due to their potential to outperform existing superalloys at elevated temperatures …

Chemical short-range order (CSRO) is generally possible in concentrated solid solutions
and currently of considerable interest for multi-principal element alloys. However, a …

Microstructural plastic strain distribution evolution is highly heterogeneous even in single-
phase alloys. One of the important factors that govern this heterogeneity is slip/twinning …

Heterogeneous phase interface with particular microstructure generally plays a key role in
the mechanical behavior of nanostructured metals and alloys. Here, we reported a novel …
