New 'high-entropy' alloy is as light as aluminum, as strong as titanium alloys

New 'high-entropy' alloy is as light as aluminum, as strong as titanium alloys


Researchers from North Carolina State University and Qatar University have developed a new "high-entropy" metal alloy that has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than any other existing metal material. High-entropy alloys are materials that consist of five or more metals in approximately equal amounts. These alloys are currently the focus of significant attention in materials science and engineering because they can have desirable properties.
