Thank you very much for sharing your detailed explanation and clarification between High entropy alloys and High entropy steels. I’d also gone through your updated materials starting from research articles to review papers which fascinate me and I keep working on it …. :)
It is reported that the fusion zone has attained the strength of 1000 MPa with >70% elongation in par with base metal. And , yes ! As a whole, the strength of the welded sample is next to base metal. But, further research is underway to control the solidification and common weld defects !!!
According to the definition of high entropy alloys, they are made of 5 or more than 5 elements. How can they be affordable? How can it be economically justified?
Thank you for your interest. Here, I would like to emphasize that depending on the application and demand, one can use Medium Entropy alloys instead of High Entropy alloys which is getting popular in these days. To quench your thirst on economic perspective, please refer Prof. Dierk Raabe's publication and I hope you would be fascinated about its development.
