Hyperadaptor; Temperature-insensitive tensile properties of Ni-based high-entropy alloy a wide temperature range by Hyojin Park, Sujung Son, Soung Yeoul Ahn, Hyojeong Ha, Rae Eon Kim, Jae Heung Lee, Hyo Moon Joo, Jung Gi Kim, Hyoung Seop Kim

“…We present a Ni-based high-entropy alloy (HEA) that exhibits minimal sensitivity to temperature variations from 77 K to 873 K, maintaining both strength and ductility due to nano-sized L12 precipitates, coarse grain, and high stacking fault energy. The temperature-independent mechanism of dislocation slip-induced plasticity further supports its stability. …”
