Short-range Ordering and Its Effects on Mechanical Properties of High-entropy Alloys: Zhaoping Lu¹; ¹University of Science and Technology Beijing
    High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have opened up a new field for discovering un-explored mechanical properties and deformation behaviors. In this talk, experimental and theoretical verification of short-range orderings (SROs) in HEAs will be first reviewed, and then effects of SROs on mechanical properties and deformation behavior will be discussed. The main theme is to demonstrate that existence of SROs is a common yet key structural feature of HEAs, and tuning the degree of SROs is an effective way for optimizing mechanical properties of HEAs. In addition, the challenges concerning on formation mechanisms and experimental characterization of SROs in HEAs will be explored, and future research activities in this area will be proposed.

4:25 PM Concluding Comments
