The ultimate dream of every materials scientist is to develop alloys which combine strength, toughness and ductility under extreme application conditions. An international team involving Dr. Anton Hohenwarter from the Department of Material Physics of Montanuniversität Leoben examined an unusual example of such an alloy. The results were now published in the article "A fracture-resistant high entropy alloy for cryogenic applications" in the renowned "Science" Journal. Pure metals can gain in strength by adding other elements, the oldest example of this coming from the Bronze-Age, where tin was added to copper, thus creating a far stronger alloy. Modern examples include mass-materials such as steel, which is hardened using carbon or aluminium. Adding alloying elements to base metals often equips the alloys with necessary mechanical properties. High-Entropy Alloys.
