Mechanics, Additive Manufacturing, and Applications of High-Entropy Alloys

Mechanics, Additive Manufacturing, and Applications of High-Entropy Alloys provides key insight into the mechanics, additive manufacturing, and application of high entropy alloys (HEAs). The book starts with chapters covering the dynamic mechanical and impact properties of these materials, theoretical models for strengthening HEAs and understanding various modes of failure, their low- and high-velocity impact behaviors, the design of lightweight HEAs, and much more. The book also features chapters outlining additive manufacturing techniques of HEAs, the effect of microstructures on their mechanical properties, and deformation mechanisms. The book concludes with chapters discussing the applications of HEAs, such as in lattice structures, high-energy absorption, nuclear energy, aerospace materials, as well as their recycling and sustainability.
