As industries push for stronger, lighter, and more durable materials, California Nanotechnologies (Cal Nano) is leading the way with advanced capabilities in high-entropy alloys (HEAs)—a cutting-edge class of materials composed of five or more principal elements in near-equal ratios. Known for their exceptional mechanical strength, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance, HEAs are redefining what’s possible across a wide range of sectors.

Advanced Manufacturing for Advanced Materials

California Nanotechnologies leverages state-of-the-art equipment—including Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and cryomilling—to process and fabricate HEAs with superior uniformity and performance. These technologies enable the production of fine-grained, high-density HEAs with tailored microstructures, ideal for high-stress applications. Cal Nano’s experience with small-scale, precision manufacturing makes it uniquely qualified to deliver customized HEA solutions.

Supporting High-Performance Applications

HEAs processed by California Nanotechnologies are well-suited for applications that demand both resilience and performance under extreme conditions:

• Aerospace and Aviation: Cal Nano’s HEAs offer strength and stability at high temperatures, making them excellent candidates for engine components, structural elements, and turbine blades.
• Defense and Military: The impact resistance and durability of HEAs make them ideal for protective armor and aerospace-grade materials.
• Nuclear and Energy: HEAs provide high radiation tolerance and corrosion resistance, key for reactor core components, boiler systems, and heat exchangers.
• Medical Devices: Select HEAs offer biocompatibility and wear resistance, making them suitable for implants, surgical tools, and prosthetics.
• Tooling and Industrial Manufacturing: High hardness and thermal stability make HEAs an optimal choice for cutting tools and dies.
• Electronics: Their stability and conductivity can benefit interconnects and components exposed to harsh environments.

Innovating for the Future

With an eye toward the future, California Nanotechnologies continues to explore and refine HEA formulations for emerging needs—such as energy storage, hydrogen applications, and additive manufacturing. By integrating HEAs with novel processing techniques, Cal Nano delivers next-generation materials that meet the toughest industrial challenges.

California Nanotechnologies is redefining materials science—one alloy at a time. Whether for aerospace, defense, or clean energy, Cal Nano’s high-entropy alloy capabilities provide the performance edge today’s innovators demand.
