High Entropy Alloys for Extreme Load-Bearing Applications
Published as part of the Virtual Special Issue “Beihang University at 70”
-
Abstract
High entropy alloys (HEAs) have emerged as a new class of materials that can exhibit superior mechanical properties to the conventional alloy systems. Therefore, they are promising candidates as the next generation structural materials. As the studies into the HEAs deepen, the original proposal of equal concentration of each element while remaining a single phased structure has been expanded and new opportunities start to emerge. Here we briefly discuss several future directions for HEAs which include fundamental questions such as chemical short-range order and synergistic strengthening mechanisms, as well as HEA’s potential applications under extreme conditions such as high-temperature and cryogenic load-bearing, impact protection and kinetic penetrator.

Author Biographies
Shiteng Zhao is currently a Professor at School of Materials Science and Engineering, Beihang University. Prof. Zhao's work has been centered on the fundamental deformation mechanisms of metals with focuses on those under extreme conditions. Especially, he used multiscale materials characterization tools to link the physics of deformation across different length scales. He also used powerful pulsed laser to probe the deformation, phase transition, and failure of materials within extremely short time. Prof. Zhao has authored and co-authored 38 papers in high profile journals, serves on the editorial board of the Journal of the Materials Research and Technology, and is a recipient of the Gareth Thomas Award and Acta Materialia Best Student Paper Award. 
Zezhou Li is an associate professor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering at the Beijing Institute of Technology. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of California, San Diego in 2019. He was a postdoctoral research associate at the University of California, San Diego, and the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities from 2019 to 2021. His research interests are mechanical properties of advanced metallic materials under extreme conditions. He has authored more than 20 peer-reviewed publications, which received over 1000 citations on google scholar. He achieved the Gareth Thomas Materials Excellence Award in 2019. -
