Co-presented with ASM International

High entropy materials have taken the field of materials science by storm over the past two decades, judging by the volume of current research and number of publications. These are materials consisting of multiple elements in which no single element can be considered the principal (or base) element. Especially for metallic alloys, these materials are variously referred to as high-entropy alloys (HEAs), compositionally complex alloys (CCAs), or multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs). There is also currently much interest in high-entropy ceramics (HECs). This is a vast compositional space, that has only sparingly been explored so far.

The talks in this webinar will explore some aspects of the development, understanding, and applications of high entropy materials to provide a flavor of the current ongoing research in this area as well as near term opportunities. The talks will complement the February theme issue of MRS Bulletin on this topic, as well as symposia at upcoming ASM and MRS Meetings.

In this webinar, attendees will learn about:

Fracture properties of high-entropy alloys
Advanced high-entropy alloys design and fundamental understanding aided by neutron scattering
Characterizations of the chemical heterogeneity in high-entropy alloys
