Characterization and properties of high-entropy alloys materials

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are a relatively new class of materials that have been attracting significant attention in material science and engineering research. This chapter provides an introductory discourse on the microstructural characterization and properties of these fascinating materials. The term “HEAs” refers to an innovative concept of metallic materials composed of multiple principal elements, each with concentrations between 5% and 35%. Unlike conventional alloys, which typically comprise one principal element with minor alloying additions, HEAs possess a unique composition that can

A comprehensive guide to high-entropy alloy subgroups

Despite the fact that numerous equiatomic and nonequiatomic high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have been observed to form a single solid solution (SS), it has also been established that several intermediate phases can emerge, some of which exhibit the structural characteristics of intermetallic compounds (ICs) such as Laves, B2, sigma, L12, and amorphous phases. This phenomenon has been extensively documented by researchers, and it is primarily attributed to a range of competing factors, including the mixing enthalpy, mixing entropy, and disparities in atomic sizes among the constituent elements

Investigation of olive leaf extract as a potential environmentally-friendly corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel

Corrosion constitutes a significant issue in industries that handle metals. Corrosion inhibitors with a low impact on the environment provide a significant economic benefit in various engineering applications. In this work, the effectiveness of olive leaves extract is evaluated as a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly corrosion inhibitor. The corrosion of carbon steel in different concentrations of hydrochloric acid (0.1, 1.0, and 2.0 M) when protected by an aqueous solution of olive leaf extract of concentrations ranging from 10 to 60 ppm is investigated. A green extraction process

Waste Management Application using UML

Solid waste creation will continue to grow both in amount and pace as long as there are human activities. The consequences of improper solid waste management are highly harmful to the environment and human health, requiring immediate action to stabilize the situation. This research represents a solid waste collection management system through several unified modelling language (UML) models. The motivation for utilizing the UML modelling approach in solid waste collection management is twofold: first, the environmental importance of solid waste management collection, second the efficiency of
