Abstract
High-Performance Metallic Alloys: From Structural Applications to Functional Devices
Author(s): Jiaxuan Nyangiwe *High-performance metallic alloys represent a critical class of materials that have transformed both structural and functional applications across industries. Their unique combination of strength, toughness, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability enables their use in aerospace, automotive, energy, and biomedical sectors. Beyond structural roles, advancements in alloy design have opened pathways for functional applications, such as shape-memory alloys, magnetic alloys, and biocompatible implants. This article explores the evolution of high-performance alloys, focusing on their properties, design strategies, and applications in modern technology. The discussion highlights the shift from traditional alloys to advanced nanostructured, high-entropy, and multifunctional alloys, underscoring their role in addressing global challenges in sustainability and technological innovation.
