- In February 2025, researchers developed a high-entropy alloy catalyst composed of platinum, palladium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese, significantly reducing the reliance on platinum while enhancing both durability and efficiency in hydrogen production through stable water electrolysis in alkaline seawater. This innovation marks a crucial step toward cost-effective and sustainable hydrogen generation
- In January 2025, Metalysis expanded its HIGH ENTROPY ALLOY production capabilities by acquiring a 40kW Tekna spheroidiser, enabling the synthesis of high-entropy alloys using refractory elements such as tantalum and niobium. This acquisition strengthens Metalysis' position in advanced alloy manufacturing for critical industrial applications
- In October 2023, TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo K.K. achieved a global first by completing the development of a five-precious-metal high-entropy alloy powder, designed for applications in 3D printing, catalysis, and conductive films with high durability. This milestone lays the groundwork for mass production of precious metal-based HIGH ENTROPY ALLOYs
- In March 2023, Goodfellow Cambridge Ltd. launched custom-designed high-entropy alloy powders tailored to the aerospace and medical industries, featuring tantalum- and niobium-based materials known for their corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and fatigue endurance in 3D-printed components. This product line enhances material options for demanding, high-performance sectors
