Corrosion of high entropy alloys

Abstract High entropy alloys represent a unique class of metal alloys, comprising nominally five or more elements in near equiatomic proportions. High entropy alloys have gained significant interest on the basis that the high configurational entropy of such alloy systems is purported to result in a...

description Abstract High entropy alloys represent a unique class of metal alloys, comprising nominally five or more elements in near equiatomic proportions.
