Abstract Scope |
The concept of multi-principal component has created promising opportunities for the development of novel “high entropy” ceramics for extreme environments encountered in advanced turbine engines, nuclear reactors, and hypersonic vehicles, as it expands the compositional space of ceramic materials with tailored properties within a single-phase solid solution. The unique physical properties of some high-entropy carbides, such as higher hardness, high-temperature strength, lower thermal conductivity, and improved irradiation resistance than the constitute ceramics, have been widely observed. These promising properties may be attributed to compositional complexity, atomic-level disorder, lattice distortion, and other fundamental processes related to defect formation and phonon scattering. This presentation focuses on advanced manufacturing of high-entropy carbides ceramics and a critical evaluation of their performance in extreme high-temperature, irradiation, and gaseous environments. |
