Prospects of High-Entropy Alloys Application

Abstract

In this chapter, the prospects of high-entropy alloys’ application were observed. There are several the most promising spheres of applications of HEAs such as nuclear power industry, as they have high resistance to radiation, as refractory (due to high strength at elevated temperatures and resistance to oxidation), soft magnetic materials (exhibit superparamagnetic, ferromagnetic properties), as well as materials used in the tool industry (have a low coefficient of friction, wear resistance, an optimal ratio of strength and ductility), corrosion-resistant materials, in the aerospace industry (low density) and as materials for storing hydrogen. The Research is supported by the Russian Scientific Foundation (project No. 20-19-00452).
