High Entropy Alloys & Materials - Call for Papers: Recent Development of High Entropy Alloys for Elevated Temperature Application

High temperature structural materials and coatings are very critical to the operation and efficiency of engines for transportation and energy sectors. As the development of Nickel-based superalloys has appeared to reach a limit, the concept of High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) has presented a wider alloy design space in multicomponent systems, and new materials such as Refractory High Entropy Alloys (RHEAs), Refractory High Entropy Superalloys (RHESAs), High Entropy Superalloys (HESAs) and High Entropy Coatings (HECs) have shown promising properties when comparing to those of conventional superalloys and coatings, including higher temperature capability, lower density, higher strength, higher ductility, lower coast, better oxidation and corrosion resistance…etc., the concept of HEAs has opened a new window to develop materials beyond conventional superalloys and coatings, it is truly an exciting time to research and develop new HEAs. This special issue focuses on the design and development of HEAs for elevated temperature applications, topics can include but not limited to alloy design, intermetallics, mechanical properties, oxidation and corrosion properties, simulations, challenges, and future directions to develop RHEAs/RHESAs, HESAs, and HECs.

Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

Alloy Design	High Entropy Superalloys
Intermetallics	Refractory High Entropy Alloys
Mechanical Properties	Refractory High Entropy Superalloys
Oxidation and Corrosion Properties	High Entropy Coatings
Materials Characterization	Simulation, Modelling, Machine Learning
