This online course provides a comprehensive technical foundation in High-Entropy Alloys (HEAs).
HEAs are a class of advanced materials offering exceptional combinations of strength, toughness, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability. These characteristics make HEAs ideal candidates for critical applications where environmental and mechanical demands are extreme. This course begins with the thermodynamic principles that underpin HEA design, before progressing to alloy selection methodologies, processing techniques, and property-performance relationships. Understanding the properties of HEAs is important for the evaluation, application, and innovation in their design tailored to specific performance criteria in advanced engineering applications.
This course is applicable to mechanical, materials, aerospace, nuclear and energy engineers, as well as other professionals who are interested in learning more about how HEAs may offer performance advantages in high-performance engineering contexts.
Learning Objectives:
At the successful conclusion of this course, you will learn the following knowledge and skills:- Understand the thermodynamic rational and configurational entropy principle of HEAs
- Familiarity with the mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties across various HEA families
- Understand alloy design strategies using both empirical and computational methods
- Learn the influence of processing techniques on structure and performance
- Identify critical applications of HEAs in demanding engineering environments
