The formation of single phase solid solution in High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) is essential for the properties of the alloys therefore, numerous approach were proposed by many researchers to predict the stability of single phase solid solution in High Entropy Alloy. The present review examines some of the recent developments while using computational intelligence techniques such as parametric approach, CALPHAD, Machine Learning etc. for prediction of various phase formation in multicomponent high entropy alloys. A detail study of this data-driven approaches pertaining to the understanding of structural and phase formation behaviour of a new class of compositionally complex alloys is done in the present investigation. The advantages and drawbacks of the various computational are also discussed. Finally, this review aims at understanding several computational modeling tools complying the thermodynamic criteria for phase formation of novel HEAs which could possibly deliver superior mechanical properties keeping an aim at advanced engineering applications.

Mould casting and drop-tube techniques were used to solidify a AlCoCrFeNi2.1 eutectic high-entropy alloy under conditions of high cooling rate. The samples obtained from two different methods present the same phase constituent, FCC and B2 phases. During mould casting experiments the alloy almost solidified into the eutectic structure consisting of lamellar and anomalous morphology, with a tiny fraction of cellular and dendrite morphology being observed at certain sites of the sample surface due to the corresponding high cooling rate. Instead, during drop-tube experiments a typical, coarse dendrite structure of FCC single phase was formed across the entire 106-150 μm particle. The cellular structure can also be formed directly from the melt. The rest region solidified into the general eutectic morphology as was observed in the casting rods. The results clearly indicate the transition from coupled eutectic growth to single-phase dendrite growth with increasing departures from equilibrium for the multi-component AlCoCrFeNi2.1 eutectic high-entropy alloy.

For the first time, an equiatomic refractory high entropy alloy (RHEA) TiNbZrHfTa compact with a single-phase body-centered cubic (BCC) structure was fabricated via a titanium hydride (TiH2) assisted powder metallurgy approach. The constituent pure Ti, Zr, Nb, Hf, and Ta powders were mechanically alloyed (MA) with titanium hydride (TiH2) powder. The resultant MA powder was dehydrogenated at 1073 K for 3.6 ks and subsequently sintered through spark plasma sintering (SPS). Additionally, TiNbZrHfTa counterparts were prepared from pure elements without MA with TiH2. It was observed that the compact prepared from pure powders had a chemically heterogeneous microstructure with hexagonal close packed (HCP) and dual BCC phases. On the other hand, despite containing many constituents, the compact fabricated at 1473 K for 3.6 ks via the hydride approach had a single-phase BCC structure. The Vickers microhardness of the TiNbZrHfTa alloy prepared via the hydride process was Hv 520 (±30). The exceptional microhardness of the alloy is greater than any individual constituent, suggesting the operation of a simple solid-solution-like strengthening mechanism and/or precipitation hardening. In addition, the heat treatments were also carried out to analyze the phase stability of TiNbZrHfTa prepared via the hydride process. The results highlight the substantial changes in the phase as a function of temperature and/or time.

The mechanical behavior of a partially recrystallized fcc-CoCrFeNiTi0.2 high entropy alloys (HEA) is investigated. Temporal evolutions of the morphology, size, and volume fraction of the nanoscaled L12-(Ni,Co)3Ti precipitates at 800 °C with various aging time were quantitatively evaluated. The ultimate tensile strength can be greatly improved to ~1200 MPa, accompanied with a tensile elongation of ~20% after precipitation. The temporal exponents for the average size and number density of precipitates reasonably conform the predictions by the PV model. A composite model was proposed to describe the plastic strain of the current HEA. As a consequence, the tensile strength and tensile elongation are well predicted, which is in accord with the experimental results. The present experiment provides a theoretical reference for the strengthening of partially recrystallized single-phase HEAs in the future.

The application of high-entropy alloys (HEA) in surface technology has great potential due to the high corrosion and wear resistance. A further improvement can be achieved by applying thermochemical treatments. Powder-pack boriding enables the formation of a protective precipitation layer. This process has already been applied for cast HEAs causing the formation of a diffusion-enriched surface layer and a distinct increase in wear resistance. In the current investigations, the alloy CrFeCoNi with a single-phase face-centred cubic (fcc) structure is considered. An efficient application can be achieved by limiting the material usage of HEAs to the surface. Therefore, the high-velocity-oxygen-fuel (HVOF) thermal spray process is applied. Boriding was conducted with an adapted powder-pack routine. Furthermore, borided bulk HEAs were considered as a reference. The influence of the production route and boriding treatment on the microstructure, phase formation, and properties was investigated in detail. For the coating and the cast HEA, a precipitation layer is formed. Hence, the hardness and wear resistance are significantly increased. The current study proves the suitability of the investigated process combination.
