Microstructure evolution during welding of high entropy alloys

Welding is part of any structural engineering component. When it comes to highentropy alloys, welding is still in its infancy. Where we will show that the selection ofthe filler metal during gas metal arc welding of high entropy alloys can drasticallyinfluence the microstructure, phase composition, and mechanical response of thewelded joints. By combining advanced microstructure characterization,thermodynamic modeling, and mechanical property assessment it is possible to tunethe mechanical performance of the joints depending on the targeted application
