A cooler approach to making new materials that can stand the heat
High-entropy alloys are a new class of alloys that are composed of four or more metallic elements in approximately equal amounts.
For example, conventional commercial aluminum alloys typically consist of more than 95 percent aluminum. Although they may contain other elements such as copper and magnesium, these are minor additions. In the case of a high-entropy alloy, however, the amounts of aluminum, copper, and magnesium would be nearly equal.
They’re an exciting group of materials because of their potential to exhibit properties not achievable with conventional alloys.
