High-Entropy Alloys for Extreme-Environment Aerospace Components

Quick fact

High-entropy alloys were first reported in 2004 and have since produced materials with strengths three times that of conventional superalloys at high temperatures.

Why this is interesting

What if an airplane engine could survive a volcanic eruption? High-entropy alloys might be the key to building materials that thrive where ordinary metals fail.
