Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The remarkable properties of high-entropy alloys (HEAs), which include exceptional strength, enhanced hardness, and superior thermal stability, are redefining the potential of advanced coating materials. HEAs, characterized by their multi-principal element composition, offer a paradigm shift in coating technologies that may contribute to the advancement of surface engineering applications. This Special Issue, "Advances in High-Entropy Alloy Coatings: Preparation, Properties, and Applications", invites contributions that highlight the latest developments in HEA coatings, including their preparation, characterization, performance, and application.
The scope of this Special Issue encompasses a broad spectrum of topics and research directions, including but not limited to:
- The synthesis and preparation methods of HEA coatings;
- Advanced characterization techniques for exploring the microstructure and composition of HEA coatings;
- The mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties of HEA coatings;
- Performance evaluation of HEA coatings in extreme environments;
- Applications of HEA coatings in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and energy;
- Novel approaches to enhance the functional performance of HEA coatings;
- Interdisciplinary studies involving the use of HEA coatings for environmental and sustainable applications.
We welcome original research articles that provide new insights into the preparation, properties, and applications of HEA coatings. The integration of experimental and computational studies to further our understanding of the intrinsic characteristics of HEAs will particularly be appreciated.
This Special Issue aims to serve as a conduit for scientists and engineers to disseminate their cutting-edge research, fostering the exchange of ideas and catalyzing further advancements in the field of high-entropy alloy coatings.
