Intrinsic factors responsible for brittle versus ductile nature of refractory high-entropy alloys
Abstract Refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) are of interest for ultrahigh-temperature applications. To overcome their drawbacks — low-temperature brittleness and poor creep strength at high temperatures — improved fundamental understanding is needed. Using experiments, theory, and modeling, we i...
