This is not a medium entropy alloy, it's a standard alloy in terms of the ratio of components, which forms medium entropy intermetallic precipitates which gives the alloy it's properties. Intermetallic MEA is an odd term I'm not really familiar with and would want to look into more, but is a little suspicious. Furthermore, while MEAs (3-4 equal primary components) and HEAs (5+ equal components) do have good mechanical properties, I'd be wary of the atomic size argument, last time I've been involved in it, that argument has increasingly been questioned, as the atomic size of the elements in question are generally pretty similar. |
