Phase stability and transformation in a light-weight high-entropy alloy

Light-weight high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with a vast alloy-design space have offered new avenues to explore novel low-cost, high strength-to-weight ratio structural materials. Studying their phase stability and possible transformations is critical for designing microstructures for optimal material properties. However, the complex local atomic environment of HEAs poses challenges to the fundamental understanding of phase stability and...
