  • Modern Materials: High-Entropy Alloys

    Credits: 3 PDH

    PDH Course Description:

    This course provides professional engineers with a comprehensive technical foundation in High-Entropy Alloys (HEAs),  a class of advanced materials offering exceptional combinations of strength, toughness, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability. Beginning with the thermodynamic principles that underpin HEA design, the course progresses through alloy selection methodologies, processing techniques, and property-performance relationships. 

    Advanced topics such as computational alloy design, additive manufacturing applications, and case studies in aerospace and energy systems are covered in detail. Engineers completing this course will be equipped to evaluate, apply, and innovate with HEAs in high-performance engineering contexts.

    Topics:

    Upon completing this course, the participant will be able to:

    • Explain the thermodynamic rationale and configurational entropy principle of HEAs.
    • Describe microstructural features, phase formation, and stability of HEAs.
    • Evaluate mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties across various HEA families.
    • Understand alloy design strategies using both empirical and computational methods.
    • Assess the influence of processing techniques on structure and performance.
    • Identify critical applications of HEAs in demanding engineering environments.
    • Analyze challenges and opportunities in the development and deployment of HEAs.
