| Daroonparvar Explores Coatings for RHEAs
|
Dr. Mohammadreza Daroonparvar, assistant professor of materials engineering, is corresponding author for an article published in the International Journal of Refractory Metals and Hard Materials. The article explores the use of protective coatings to improve the high-temperature oxidation resistance of refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs). His work highlights how pack cementation/slurry-based diffusion coatings can promote the formation of protective oxide scales that act as diffusion barriers at elevated temperatures.
