The reported highest testing temperatures and corresponding yield strength of various alloys

Caption

A new type of alloy called the ultra-high-temperature HEA (UHT-HEA) has been proposed, which can serve at temperatures greater than 1800 °C. The NbMoTaWHfN RHEA is reported to exhibit a novel compressed yield strength of 288 MPa at 1800 °C， whereas the highest testing temperature of most alloys is no more than 1600 °C.
