Estimation of Hardness of Single-Phase Metallic Alloys

First, we discuss a common feature of single-phase pure metals and amorphous and high-entropy alloys: the maximum value of hardness corresponding to a valence electron count (VEC) value of around 6.5–7. This correlation is explained by the coincidence that by subtracting the number of <i>sp<...
