Sol-gel Autocombustion Synthesis of Nanocrystalline High-entropy Alloys

Abstract A reduction in the particle size is expected to improve the properties and increase the application potential of high-entropy alloys. Therefore, in this study, a novel sol–gel autocombustion technique was first used to synthesize high-entropy alloys. The average grain size of the prepared n...
