Journal Article
Striking a balance with high-entropy alloys
2021
Overview
Jet engines convert heat energy from burning fuel into thrust, and the greater the temperature difference between the heat source and the cool air outside the engine, the more thrust the engines can get from a given amount of fuel. By increasing the relative proportions of the elements and introducing more internal entropy, the formation of such compounds becomes energetically much less favourable, giving the resultant alloys improved physical properties without the drawbacks of conventional mixtures. Cem Tasan, a metallurgist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, is particularly interested in materials that are resistant to hydrogen embrittlement. Because they are so small, hydrogen atoms can easily penetrate many ductile materials and cause them to become more fragile.
