Description of  High-Entropy Alloys

Editors: Gao, M.C., Yeh, J.-W., Liaw, P.K., Zhang, Y. (Eds.) Introduces and explains the source of high-entropy alloys, their advantages and weakness, and advances in understanding this class of materials including their industrial applications Explains all aspects of high-entropy alloys including formation rules, processing, physical metallurgy, mechanical behavior, functional properties, prediction of the structure using various ab initio methods, thermodynamics and elasticity, liquid structure and solidification, CALPHAD modeling, and future prospects Details computational procedures for high-entropy alloys and the latest computational development of high-entropy alloys This book provides a systematic and comprehensive description of high-entropy alloys (HEAs). The authors summarize key properties of HEAs from the perspective of both fundamental understanding and applications, which are supported by in-depth analyses. The book also contains computational modeling in tackling HEAs, which help elucidate the formation mechanisms and properties of HEAs from various length and time scales.
