High entropy alloys, refractory high entropy alloys, methods of selecting and making, and structures formed thereof
| DWPI Title: Alloy for use in high temperature applications e.g. current reactors, comprises manganese and four refractory elements in equiatomic or near-equiatomic amounts selected from chromium, niobium, titanium, vanadium and zirconium |
| Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to novel high entropy alloys, including refractory high entropy alloys, and methods of selecting high entropy alloys and refractory high entropy alloys with select nuclear application predetermined properties. |
| Use: Alloy for use in a gas-cooled very high temperature reactor e.g. current reactors. |
| Advantage: The alloy has high radiation, corrosion, temperature, and pressure environments which are ideal for extending the performance of materials in high temperature applications, including current reactors, next-generation advanced, high-temperature reactors and renewable energies. |
| Novelty: Alloy comprises manganese and four refractory elements in equiatomic or near-equiatomic amounts selected from chromium, niobium, titanium, vanadium and zirconium. |
