Designing Maximal Strength in Nanolamellar Eutectic High-Entropy Alloys.

ABSTRACT: Eutectic alloys have driven technological advancements for centuries, from early bronze tools that marked the dawn of metallurgy to high-performance soldering materials. Building on this legacy, eutectic high-entropy alloys (EHEAs) have recently emerged to push the boundaries of mechanical performance. However, the strength potential of EHEAs remains largely untapped, primarily because of limitations in cooling rates, posing a significant challenge to the development of ultra-strong bulk EHEAs. This study employs large-scale molecular dynamics simulations to uncover key insights into the design of EHEAs with exceptional mechanical performance. Simulations reveal that the maximum tensile strength occurs at a critical interphase boundary spacing, an order of magnitude larger than that observ
