High entropy alloy

HEAs, or high entropy alloys, are special metals that scientists and manufacturers are starting to use increasingly. They are comprised of various elements, such as iron, nickel and cobalt, which impart special properties to them. While regular alloys often have just one or two principle constituents, a high entropy alloy might have as many as five or more elements all mixed together. 

What is cool about high entropy alloys is something called “high entropy. " You can think of this as the atoms in the metal being very mixed up and disordered. This mixture lends HEAs some remarkable characteristics, such as great strength, resistance to rust and stability in heat.

Another neat thing about high entropy alloys is that they can also take on some really high temperatures and environments. This makes them well-suited for applications like jet engines, nuclear reactors and industrial furnaces. And, because they’re so tough, HEAs are ideal for creating tools and machines designed to carry heavy loads and endure over time. 

But according to Jien-Wei Yeh, high entropy alloys have real potential to disrupt industries by creating multiple win-win situations. For instance, such alloys could be used to produce stronger, longer-lasting products. This means machines and equipment are less likely to break, potentially saving companies money on repairs and replacements.
