Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A multi-material component joined by a high entropy alloy is provided, as well as methods of making a multi-material component by joining dissimilar materials with high entropy alloys.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A multi-material component comprising: a first member comprising steel, aluminum or an alloy thereof, or a combination thereof, a second member comprising aluminum or an alloy thereof, and a third member joining the first member to the second member via at least welding, wherein the third member comprises a high entropy alloy, wherein the high entropy alloy consists of Al at about 2 atomic %, Cu at about 12 atomic %, Fe at about 22 atomic %, Mn at about 26 atomic %, Ni at about 33 atomic %, and Cr at about 5 atomic %. 2. The multi-material component according to claim 1 , wherein the high entropy alloy comprises a single phase solid solution with an FCC crystal structure. 3. The multi-material component according to claim 2 , wherein the high entropy alloy consists essentially of a single phase solid solution with an FCC crystal structure. 4. The multi-material component according to claim 3 , wherein the high entropy alloy consists of a single phase solid solution with an FCC crystal structure. 5. A method of making a multi-material component comprising: providing a first member comprising steel, aluminum or an alloy thereof, or a combination thereof; providing a second member comprising aluminum or an alloy thereof; welding together the first member and the second member with a third member therebetween, wherein the third member comprises a high entropy alloy, and wherein the high entropy alloy consists of Al at about 2 atomic %, Cu at about 12 atomic %, Fe at about 22 atomic %, Mn at about 26 atomic %, Ni at about 33 atomic %, and Cr at about 5 atomic %. 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the high entropy alloy consists of a single phase solid solution with an FCC crystal structure.
