Lattice‐Distortion‐Enhanced Yield Strength in a Refractory High‐Entropy Alloy

Severe distortion is one of the four core effects in single‐phase high‐entropy alloys (HEAs) and contributes significantly to the yield strength. However, the connection between the atomic‐scale lattice distortion and macro‐scale mechanical properties through experimental verification has yet to be fully achieved, owing to two critical challenges: 1) the difficulty in the development of homogeneous single‐phase solid‐solution HEAs and 2) the...
