Random solid solution alloys are a broad class of materials that are used across the entire
spectrum of engineering metals, whether as stand-alone materials (eg Al-5xxx alloys) or as …

We present a review of solid solution strengthening models for random concentrated solid
solutions of which high entropy alloys are an interesting subset. High entropy alloys (HEAs) …

In the past twenty years, new experimental approaches, improved models and progress in
simulation techniques have brought new insights into longstanding issues concerning …

Shearing mechanisms of the primary strengthening phase in cobalt-base and cobalt-nickel-
base superalloys, γ′(L1 2), are investigated at the elementary defect level by using a …

Strengthening of aluminium alloys 7xxx through the imposition of severe plastic deformation
supplemented by ageing treatments is a challenge due to the limited workability of these …

Magnesium (Mg) has the lowest density of all structural metals and has excellent potential
for wide use in structural applications. While pure Mg has inferior mechanical properties; the …

Solid solution strengthening is a technologically important mechanism controlling the
strength of a wide range of alloys. Understanding and predicting the temperature-dependent …

Solute strengthening is an important mechanism that contributes to improving the
mechanical properties of alloys and particularly the recent generations of concentrated …

The line tension $\Gamma $ of a dislocation is an important and fundamental property
ubiquitous to continuum scale models of metal plasticity. However, the precise value of …

The yield stress of random solid solutions is a classic theme in physical metallurgy that
currently attracts a renewed interest in connection to high entropy alloys. Here, we revisit this …
