Coupled Strengthening Effects by Lattice Distortion, Local Chemical Ordering, and Nanoprecipitates in Medium-Entropy Alloys

Extraordinary mechanical properties can be achieved in high-entropy alloys (HEAs) or medium-entropy alloys (MEAs) with nanoprecipitates. In the present study, the extra coupled strengthening effects by lattice distortion, local chemical ordering, and nanoprecipitates in the HEAs and MEAs with nanopr...
