As an emerging alloy material, high-entropy alloy has potential applications that distinguish it from traditional alloys due to its special physicochemical properties. In this work, a low melting point GaInSnBiZn high-entropy alloy was designed based on Miedema model, and its surface tension was measured by the continuous pendant-drop method. The results show that the intrinsic surface tension of GaInSnBiZn high-entropy alloy at 80 °C is 545±5 mN/m, and the surface tension of the liquid alloy is significantly reduced by the formation of surface oxide film. The surface tension of GaInSnBiZn high-entropy alloy was analyzed by using theoretical models (Guggenheim model, GSM (general solution) model and Butler model), and the thermodynamic characteristics of the surface tension formation were further verified by combining with thermodynamic calculations, among which the calculated results of Butler model were in good agreement with the experimental data. Meanwhile, it is found that the surface concentration of Bi in the alloy is much larger than the nominal concentration of its bulk phase, which contributes the most to the surface tension of the alloy, however, it contributes the least to the entropy of the alloy formation in combination with the Butler model.

High entropy alloy (HEA) is a new class of alloy that has a different alloy design concept over the conventional dilute alloys. In this alloy, the alloying elements have an equi-atomic ratio that helps to increase the entropy of the alloy to stabilize the simple solid solution (BCC, FCC and HCP) over the intermetallics. The stabilization of solid solution improves the paradoxial properties such as strength and toughness. High thermal stability, excellent creep and fatigue properties, outstanding corrosion resistance are the attractive features of HEA. Recently, the HEA is explored as a matrix or particle in the metal matrix composites. Research studies on HEA based composites are plenty and scattered. In this work, we attempt to collate essential information in the HEA based composites. The overview covers (1) processing techniques, (2) microstructure characterization and (3) the mechanical properties in detail. A short note on the potential applications of HEA based composites is also proposed.

This review summarizes the state of high-entropy alloys and their combinatorial approaches, mainly considering their magnetic applications. Several earlier studies on high-entropy alloy properties, such as magnetic, wear, and corrosion behavior; different forms, such as thin films, nanowires, thermal spray coatings; specific treatments, such as plasma spraying and inclusion effects; and unique applications, such as welding, are summarized. High-entropy alloy systems that were reported for both their mechanical and magnetic properties are compared through the combination of their Young’s modulus, yield strength, remanent induction, and coercive force. Several potential applications requiring both mechanical and magnetic properties are reported.

Abstract Two kinds of phase stabilization mechanism are discussed and compared: the first is characteristic of the formation of bulk amorphous alloys, in which the high supercooling ability of multicomponent liquids is responsible for the glassy phase stabilization. Here the hindered nucleation of crystalline phases is the center phenomenon. The origin of this hindering is the slowing atomic mobility in the supercooling melt. In contrast the melt supercooling is negligible during the high entropy alloy formation. It is believed that stability of the crystalline single fcc phase is the consequence of the characteristic of high configurational entropy at high temperatures. However, the significance of this entropy-dominated stabilization is overestimated in several references. It has been concluded that transition metal contraction (arising from the d electron participation in the overall bonding state) does also contribute to the high temperature stability of fcc single phase in the high entropy alloys.

High entropy or multi principal element alloys are a promising and relatively young concept for designing alloys. The idea of creating alloys without a single main alloying element opens up a wide space for possible new alloy compositions. High entropy alloys based on refractory metals such as W, Mo, Ta or Nb are of interest for future high temperature applications e.g., in the aerospace or chemical industry. However, producing refractory metal high entropy alloys by conventional metallurgical methods remains challenging. For this reason, the feasibility of laser-based additive manufacturing of the refractory metal high entropy alloy W20Mo20Ta20Nb20V20 by laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M) is investigated in the present work. In-situ alloy formation from mixtures of easily available elemental powders is employed to avoid an expensive atomization of pre-alloyed powder. It is shown that PBF-LB/M of W20Mo20Ta20Nb20V20 is in general possible and that a complete fusion of the powder mixture without a significant number of undissolved particles is achievable by in-situ alloy formation during PBF-LB/M when selecting favorable process parameter combinations. The relative density of the samples with a dimension of 6 × 6 × 6 mm3 reaches, in dependence of the PBF-LB/M parameter set, 99.8%. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements confirm the presence of a single bcc-phase. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show a dendritic and/or cellular microstructure that can, to some extent, be controlled by the PBF-LB/M parameters.

In recent years, the unique physical and mechanical properties of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have been the subject of increased attention of researchers. The study of the thermodynamic characteristics of such materials may be of interest for formulating the principles of the formation of structures with the required functional characteristics. Since the processes of structure and phase formation, as well as the diffusion mobility of atoms, the mechanism for the formation of mechanical properties and thermal stability differ significantly from similar processes in traditional alloys, HEAs are singled out into a special group of materials.The article presents a brief overview of the results of obtaining a high-entropy alloy by the combined method. At the first stage, a precursor layer was deposited by сold gas dynamic spraying (CGDS), and at the second stage, it was subjected to high-energy action using a laser. An alloy of the Al-Cr-Ni-Co-Fe type has been studied. By varying the ratio of the components, it was possible to obtain an almost equimolar composition for this system. A prediction of properties and structure is made based on the phase composition of the system.

High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) represent a new concept of metallic materials, that contain 5 or more elements, in proportions from 5 at.% to 35 at.%, and form simple solid solutions (BCC and/or FCC) instead of complicated intermetallic phases. The high degree of randomness atomic HEA, gives them excellent properties: electrical, mechanical, electrochemical, ductility, anti-corrosion properties, stable structure etc, with applications in peak thus representing a growing research. These specific features provides HEA with excellent hardness, strength and wear strength, malleability, oxidation and corrosion resistance, with potential applications in diverse industrial areas [1÷4]. Considering these properties we decide to improve biomedical alloys with this new class of HEAs.

CoCrFeMoNi high entropy alloys (HEAs) exhibit several promising characteristics for potential applications of high temperature coating. In this study, metastable intermetallic phases and their thermal stability of high-entropy alloy CoCrFeMo0.85Ni were investigated via thermal and microstructural analyses. Solidus and liquidus temperatures of CoCrFeMo0.85Ni were determined by differential thermal analysis as 1323 °C and 1331 °C, respectively. Phase transitions also occur at 800 °C and 1212 °C during heating. Microstructure of alloy exhibits a single-phase face-centred cubic (FCC) matrix embedded with the mixture of (Co, Cr, Fe)-rich tetragonal phase and Mo-rich rhombohedron-like phase. The morphologies of two intermetallics show matrix-based tetragonal phases bordered by Mo-rich rhombohedral precipitates around their perimeter. The experimental results presented in our paper provide key information on the microstructure and thermal stability of our alloy, which will assist in the development of similar thermal spray HEA coatings.
