Corrosion-resistant high entropy alloy with high strength and ductility

High-strength materials lack a synergistic combination of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance desired for most structural applications. Phase and grain boundary architecturing is done in the material to attain balance in these properties. A friction stir processed Fe38.5Mn20Co20Cr15Si5Cu1.5 (Cu-HEA) exhibited excellent mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance in synergy. The excellent mechanical properties were attributed...
