High-entropy carbides (HECs) are multicomponent equimolar single-phase solid solutions of five or more metals from groups four and five of the periodic table with a cubic NaCl-type crystal structure.

The low alloy bainitic steel used in reactor pressure vessels deteriorates during thermal service while the macroscopic thermodynamic parameters that cause thermal aging remains unknown. In this work, ...

The effects of the post-weld treatment on the impact performance, microstructure, and carbide precipitation behavior of pressure vessel steel were evaluated under simulated post-weld conditions. The ...
