High-entropy alloys are solid solutions of multiple principal elements that capable reaching composition and property regimes inaccessible for dilute materials. Discovering those with valuable properties, however, too often relies on serendipity, because thermodynamic alloy design rules alone fail in high-dimensional spaces. We propose an active learning strategy to accelerate the high-entropy Invar a practically infinite compositional space based very sparse data. Our approach works as...

The lack of strength and damage tolerance can limit the applications conventional soft magnetic materials (SMMs), particularly in mechanically loaded functional devices. Therefore, strengthening toughening SMMs is critically important. However, concepts usually significantly deteriorate properties, due to Bloch wall interactions with defects used for hardening. Here a novel concept overcome this dilemma proposed, by developing bulk excellent mechanical attractive properties through coherent...

Interstitials, e.g., C, N, and O, are attractive alloying elements as small atoms on interstitial sites create strong lattice distortions hence substantially strengthen metals. However, brittle ceramics such oxides carbides usually form, instead of solid solutions, when the content exceeds a critical yet low value (e.g., 2 at.%). Here we introduce class massive solution (MISS) alloys by using highly distorted substitutional host lattice, which enables amounts interstitials an additional...

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) and metallic glasses (MGs) are two material classes based on the massive mixing of multiple-principal elements. HEAs single or multiphase crystalline solid solutions with high ductility. MGs amorphous structure have superior strength but usually poor Here, stacking fault energy in high-entropy nanotwinned phase glass-forming-ability MG same controlled, realizing a novel nanocomposite near theoretical yield (G/24, where G is shear modulus material) homogeneous...

Abstract Since its first emergence in 2004, the high‐entropy alloy (HEA) concept has aimed at stabilizing single‐ or dual‐phase multi‐element solid solutions through high mixing entropy. Here, this strategy is changed and renders such massive metastable, to trigger spinodal decomposition for improving alloys’ magnetic properties. The motivation starting from a HEA approach provide chemical degrees of freedom required tailor behavior using multiple components. key idea form Fe‐Co enriched...

Chemical short-range order (CSRO) refers to atoms of specific elements self-organising within a disordered crystalline matrix form particular atomic neighbourhoods. CSRO is typically characterized indirectly, using volume-averaged or through projection microscopy techniques that fail capture the three-dimensional atomistic architectures. Here, we present machine-learning enhanced approach break inherent resolution limits atom probe tomography enabling imaging multiple CSROs. We showcase our...

Higher strength and higher ductility are desirable for structural materials. However, ultrastrong alloys inevitably show decreased strain-hardening capacity, limiting their uniform elongation. We present a supranano (<10 nanometers) short-range ordering design grain interiors boundary regions, respectively, in fine-grained based on vanadium, cobalt, nickel, with additions of tungsten, copper, aluminum, boron. The pronounced boundary-related strengthening ductilization mechanism is realized...
