Deformation Processing of High Entropy Alloys offers an in-depth exploration of the mechanical properties and processing methods of high entropy alloys (HEAs), covering topics such as microstructural evolution, deformation mechanisms, alloy composition, processing techniques, and various applications. The book provides an introduction to HEAs, outlining their differences from more traditional alloys before diving into more complex subjects such as their stability and metastability, their crystal structures, FCC- and BCC-based HEAs, as well as thermomechanical treatments and their mechanical properties. Deformation processing techniques, solid state processing methods, and additive manufacturing of HEAs are each discussed as well, as are modeling and simulation approaches. Finally, a broad range of applications and limitations for these cutting-edge materials are also covered.Covers the classification, properties, and behavior of multielement/high entropy alloys under deformation processing techniquesOutlines modeling and simulation techniques for predicting material behavior and optimizing processing parametersIncludes case studies and cutting-edge examples of high entropy alloys in various applications

Nanocrystalline materials exhibit exceptional mechanical properties, representing an exciting new class of structural materials for technological applications. The advancement of this important field depends on the development of new fabrication methods, and an appreciation of the underlying nano-scale and interface effects. This authored book addresses these essential issues, presenting for the first time a fundamental, coherent and current account at the theoretical and practical level of nanocrystalline and nanocomposite bulk materials and coatings. The subject is approached systematically, covering processing methods, key structural and mechanical properties, and a wealth of applications. This is a valuable resource for graduate students studying nanomaterials science and nanotechnologies, as well as researchers and practitioners in materials science and engineering.
