Enthalpy induced phase partition toward hierarchical, nanostructured high-entropy alloys

Heterogeneous nanostructured metals are emerging strategies for achieving both high strength and ductility, which are particularly attractive for high entropy alloys (HEAs) to combine the synergistic enhancements from multielement composition, grain boundaries, and heterogeneity effects. However, the construction of heterogeneous nanostructured HEAs remains elusive and can involve delicate processes that are not practically scalable. Herein we...
