High-Entropy Alloy Powder · Multi-Principal Element Alloy
Ultra-high strength · High-temperature resistance · Corrosion resistance · Customizable composition FeCoNiCrMn / FeCoCrNiMo / FeCoCrNiAl / CoCrNiAlTi / NiCuFeCrAl

High-entropy alloy powders are advanced alloy powders composed of five or more principal metallic elements. The high-entropy effect significantly enhances their overall performance, resulting in excellent mechanical properties and outstanding resistance to high temperatures, corrosion, and radiation. These powders are produced via non‑vacuum gas atomization, exhibiting good sphericity, superior flowability, and tightly controlled oxygen content, making them well suited for laser additive manufacturing (SLM), thermal spraying, powder metallurgy, and cutting‑edge research applications. The core technical team is alumni of the Powder Metallurgy Institute at Central South University.

High-entropy alloy powder

High-entropy alloys break with the traditional alloy design paradigm, which typically relies on one or two dominant elements. Instead, they consist of five or more principal elements in equimolar or near‑equimolar proportions, leveraging high-entropy effects, lattice‑distortion effects, diffusion‑hindered effects, and the “cocktail effect” to deliver superior overall performance far beyond that of conventional alloys. The powders are produced via non‑vacuum gas atomization, exhibiting excellent sphericity and controllable oxygen content. They are suitable for laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), laser directed energy deposition (DED), atmospheric/vacuum plasma spraying, and powder metallurgy hot pressing. These materials have already been successfully applied in areas such as hot‑section components of aeroengines, inner‑wall coatings for nuclear reactors, acid‑resistant valves in the chemical industry, and high‑end cutting tools and molds.
