Alloythat
Alloythat is a term used in materials science to describe a class of multi-principal-element alloys designed to combine high strength, hardness, and thermal stability with reasonable ductility. It denotes a broad family rather than a single composition, with compositions typically including five or more principal elements in near-equal proportions. Common design spaces for alloythat include Ni, Co, Cr, Fe, and Mn with additions of Al, Ti, or Nb, as well as Fe-Cr-Ni–based systems, enabling varied solid-solution or two-phase microstructures.
Microstructure and properties: The high-entropy concept behind alloythat often yields a solid-solution matrix that can be
Processing: Manufacturing methods for alloythat include arc melting with homogenization, vacuum induction melting, powder metallurgy, and
Applications and status: Alloythat remains largely an area of active research and development, with potential use
