In the last decade, single-phase high-entropy materials have attracted considerable research interest owing to their unexpected existence and unique combinations of properties. Recent development 5-cation carbides (HECs) has demonstrated alluring properties compared rule mixtures binary carbides. Proposed here is ultrahigh-entropy (UHECs) containing 6+ principal elements with greater combinatorial possibilities. The use multi-cation compositions allows for design ceramics further tunable...

Single-phase intermetallic FeAl layered material is synthesized using a foil approach to study the fracture mechanisms of FeAl-based metallic-intermetallic laminate (MIL) composites containing similarly fabricated structure. The mechanical properties and crack evolution single-phase are investigated via incremental compression testing. Microstructure composition assessment confirm similar layer microstructure MIL composites. When compressed perpendicular layers, both materials fail by axial...

Abstract We describe two cases of hard metal pulmonary disease (one fatal) in workers employed the same area a coating plant using detonation gun process for applying durable surface to parts. In this form welding, mixture powdered metals, including tungsten carbide and cobalt, is heated by ignition flammable gas propelled from end “gun” at high temperature velocity welded coating. This done an enclosed chamber with each application, large volumes fine aerosols are created. Inhalation...
