Fabrication of bimetallic interpenetrating structures with enhanced impact resistance via 3D-printing of high-entropy alloy lattices and vacuum melt infiltration of Al-based alloys by Guoqing Huang, Bo Li

“…This enhanced performance is attributed to the seamless integration of the distinctive physical properties of the HEA and the Al-based alloy, which together enable coordinated deformation of the bimetallic phases during impact. Detailed analysis of the metallurgical bonding microstructure at the bimetallic interfaces revealed the formation of robust bonding structures both during the impregnation process and after impact-induced failure, with the strengthening effect at the dissimilar material interfaces playing a crucial role in energy absorption by amplifying energy dissipation through crack propagation in the diffusion interface layer. …”
