Physics of Metals and Metallography

A large-scale study of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) began in 2004 after the studies of Cantor and Yeh [ 1 , 2 ]. The idea of creating an HEA was based on the fact that the high entropy of mixing in alloys comprised of five or more chemical elements …

The prediction of the destruction of structures is largely determined by the complete evaluation of the quality of raw materials, which also concerns the assessment of their residual life. At their core, steel and alloys are a kind of medium the …

It is well known that the strength properties of pure metals and alloys are determined by several factors, but the average grain size frequently plays a key role [ 1 , 2 ]. In particular, the dependence of the strength of various polycrystalline …

In recent years, materials have played different roles in various fields of life. Nowadays, there are many different types of alloy that are become indispensable for daily life [ 1 ]. After the discovery of Nitinol, which was a new type of Shape …

Titanium and its alloys are extensively used for aerospace applications due to their excellent combination of high specific strength even at high temperature, fracture resistance characteristics, and exceptional resistance to corrosion [ 1 , 2 ].
