Recent progress in high-entropy alloys: A focused review of preparation processes and properties

In recent years, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted tremendous attention in various fields. With multiple-principal elements and multiple core effects, giving them different organizational structures and unique properties compared with conventional alloys, providing unlimited development potential and bringing promising potential applications for HEAs. After almost 30 years of development, the preparation and research methods of HEAs have greatly expanded, the systems have been optimized, and their application scope has broadened. Here, we provided a comprehensive review of the development of the preparation processes firstly, including block, coating, wire, powder, and additively-manufactured HEAs. In…
