Conventional alloys have one principal element, with minor modifications achieved by adding relatively small amounts of other elements. As many as a dozen other elements may be added, but conventional ...

High-entropy alloys are promising advanced materials for demanding applications, but discovering useful compositions is difficult and expensive due to the vast number of possible element combinations.

Physicists at the Ural Federal University (UrFU) have created a theory for the solidification of iron-nickel (Fe-Ni) alloy (Invar). They determined that an important role in the technology of creating ...
