The Case Against Hall-Petch Hardening in High Entropy Carbide Ceramics
Ali Sarikhani, Ana C. Feltrin, Gregory E. Hilmas +5
Grain size is often used with the Hall-Petch relationship to justify differences in hardness in ceramic materials. Herein, hardness does not vary systematically with grain-size for…

Grain Growth Kinetics in (Cr,Mo,Ta,V,W)C1-δ High-Entropy Carbide Ceramics
Ali Sarikhani, Gregory E. Hilmas, David W. Lipke +5
Understanding grain-boundary mobility during spark plasma sintering can enable microstructure control in high-entropy carbides, yet quantitative grain-growth kinetics remain scarce…
