Development of competitive high-entropy alloys using commodity powders
J. M. Torralba, S. Kumaran
Abstract
One of the main drawbacks of the powder metallurgy route for High-Entropy Alloys (HEAs) is the unavailability of fully pre-alloyed powders in the market. Using commodity powders (commercial Ni, Fe and Co base fully pre-alloyed powders, fully available in large quantities and at competitive prices) to produce HEAs presents a completely new and competitive scenario for obtaining viable alloys for high-performance applications.
