The rapid development in the field of multicomponent and high-entropy alloys provides an appealing alternative to the challenging issue of lead encountered in commercial brass alloys. Engineering challenges arising in attempts to reduce lead could be successfully tackled by applying the high-entropy alloy (HEA) design concept to these otherwise conventional alloys, resulting in the creation of novel high-entropy brasses (HEBs). Our research deals with the compositional design and thermal processing of a novel lead-free Cu–Al–Zn–Sn medium-entropy brass alloy. This alloy has an elevated specific strength, surpassing many commercial brass alloys, while being entirely lead-free. Applying this approach to commercial alloys provides a feasible solution for modern engineering challenges. View this paper
