Imparting additional chemical heterogeneities of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) is considered
as a novel strategy to improve their irradiation resistance on dislocation loop growth; …

The joining of zirconium alloys is an important issue in the field of nuclear energy since
zirconium alloys are often used as nuclear fuel cladding tube. The article reviews the …

The effect of Au-ions irradiation with different damage doses from 10 to 90 dpa on
mechanical properties and LBE corrosion behavior of AlCrFeMoTi HEA coating was …

The effects of ionizing radiation on materials often reduce to “bad news”. Radiation damage
usually leads to detrimental effects such as embrittlement, accelerated creep, phase …

Over the past few years, interest in high-entropic alloys (HEAs) has been growing. A large
body of research has been undertaken to study aspects such as the microstructure features …

The FeCrAlTiNb high-entropy alloy coatings are fabricated by magnetron sputtering method
to prevent the lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) corrosion of structural components used in lead …
