Thermal Stability and Mechanical Properties of Nanostructured High-Entropy Alloys

In my presentation, I will talk about a few strategies for the fabrication of nanostructured HEAs – magnetron co-sputtering and electrodeposition. Such nanostructured HEAs exhibit high yield strengths and thermal stability compared to conventional binary alloys. I also demonstrate that such nanostructured HEA films show substantially enhanced stability for long-duration conditions. Nanostructured HEAs combining these properties represent a new class of materials in small-dimension devices potentially for high-stress and high-temperature applications.
