Episode 91: High Entropy Alloys

A new class of material doesn't show up often. In this episode, we dive into the revolutionary discovery of high entropy alloys (HEAs) that revitalized the field of metallurgy. We dive into their simultaneous discovery at both Oxford and Tsinghua National University. Learn how they break all the typical rules we know. We explore how their composition gives them exceptional strength, hardness, thermal stability, and their superior resistance to corrosion and wear. Discover why HEAs are transforming the materials industry and how their versatility is driving future technological advancements.
