Overcoming strength-toughness trade-off in a eutectic high entropy alloy by optimizing chemical and microstructural heterogeneities

Abstract The well-known strength-toughness trade-off has long been an obstacle in the pursuit of advanced structural alloys. Here, we develop a eutectic high entropy alloy that effectively overcomes this limitation. Our alloy is composed of face-centered cubic and body-centered cubic crystalline pha...
