Metallurgists have long been accustomed to a trade-off between yield strength and tensile
ductility. Extending previously known strain-hardening mechanisms, the emerging multi …

The growing need for stronger and more ductile structural materials has spurred an intense
search for innovative, high-performance alloys. Traditionally, alloys face a pervasive trade …

Body-centred cubic refractory multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs), with several refractory
metal elements as constituents and featuring a yield strength greater than one gigapascal …

In this work, a combination of in-situ high synchrotron X-ray diffraction and electron
backscattered diffraction were used to systematically investigate the activation and evolution …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a revolutionary technology that heralds a new era in metal
processing, yet the quality of AM‐produced parts is inevitably compromised by cracking …

Local lattice distortions (LLD) and structural stability of body-centered cubic (bcc) Nb–Ta–Ti–
Hf high-entropy alloys (HEAs) are studied as functions of composition employing ab initio …

Refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEA), particularly those with a body-centered cubic lattice
structure, are garnering increased interest due to their potential industrial applications …

It is gradually accepted that the presence of local chemical orderings (LCOs) is a common
structural feature of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) due to their large chemical complexity and …

HfNbTaTiZr refractory high entropy alloy has emerged as a prospective structural material
suitable for high-temperature applications owing to its remarkable combination of high …

Solid solutions are ubiquitous in metals and alloys. Local chemical ordering (LCO) is a
fundamental sub-nano/nanoscale process that occurs in many solid solutions and can be …
