Element distribution in a quinary Ni-Cu-Ti-Zr-Hf alloy

 
ELEMENT DISTRIBUTION IN A QUINARY Ni-Cu-Ti-Zr-Hf ALLOY
High entropy shape memory alloys are functional materials that develop complex microstructures during solidification. The elemental map shows the chemical distribution of Hafnium within a quinary Ni-Cu-Ti-Zr-Hf alloy.
