Hypothesis

Can a high-entropy strategy enhance the corrosion resistance of rare earth zirconates against CMAS?

Conclusion

The high-entropy strategy significantly improves the corrosion resistance of rare earth zirconates against CMAS.

Supporting Evidence

  • Rare earth elements impede element diffusion and hinder CMAS infiltration.
  • Larger ionic radii of rare earth elements enhance solubility in apatite.
  • The high-entropy strategy effectively improves corrosion resistance.

Takeaway

This study shows that mixing different rare earth elements can make materials better at resisting damage from high-temperature melts.

Methodology

The study synthesized high-entropy rare earth zirconates and tested their corrosion behavior against CMAS at high temperatures.
