About this book
This book draws on the latest research to discuss the history and development of high-entropy alloys and ceramics in bulk, film, and fiber form. High-entropy materials have recently been developed using the entropy of mixing and entropy of configuration of materials, and have proven to exhibit unique properties superior to those of conventional materials. The field of high-entropy alloys was born in 2004, and has since been developed for both scientific and engineering applications.
Although there is extensive literature, this field is rapidly transforming. This book highlights the cutting edge of high-entropy materials, including their fundamentals and applications. Above all, it reflects two major milestones in their development: the equi-atomic ratio single-phase high-entropy alloys; and the non-equi-atomic ratio dual-phase high-entropy alloys.Authors and Affiliations
About the author
In 2005, Dr. Zhang received an award from the Ministry of Education of China under the New Century Excellent Talents (NCET) in Universities program. His main research interest is the development of new materials in bulk, film, and fiber form using the high-entropy and materials-genome-initiative (MGI) strategies. He has published over 180 papers and received an award for outstanding contributions to natural science in 2010 for his research on “strengthening and toughening bulk amorphous alloys,” as well as an award for his work on “deformation mechanisms of amorphous composites” from Shanxi province in 2015.
