| Abstract Scope |
In this first part of this talk, we investigate a series of equiatomic binary NiCo, ternary NiCoFe, NiFeCr, and quaternary NiCoFeCu nanocrystalline alloys, produced using electrodeposition. The alloys were subsequently processed with heat treatment at temperatures in the range 573-823 K. Nanoindentation were applied to identify the temperature dependency of mechanical properties. Our study demonstrates a scalable method for producing high-strength and thermally stable HEAs. In the second part of the talk, we demonstrate a radio frequency inductively coupled plasma (RF-ICP) fast method for preparing MEAs and HEAs in a fast and a high-throughput fashion, using the radio frequency inductively coupled plasma (RF-ICP) technique. Typical bulk MEAs and HEAs are successfully synthesized within less than 40s per alloy, thereby greatly improving the fabrication efficiency and throughput. |
