Abstract Scope |
We suggest applying a lens of practicality to high entropy alloy design related to alloy economics and resource usage issues. A framework for HEA materials selection could assist the metallurgical community in screening for HEAs with feasible implementation possibilities by identifying unsuitable alloying elements based on price or metrics of supply availability. For some metrics, such as price volatility, the elemental diversification in HEAs could prove beneficial, while for others, such as recyclability, elemental breadth introduces significant challenges. |
