Uniaxial mechanical properties of face-centered cubic single- and multiphase high-entropy alloys

Abstract Since the high entropy concept was proposed at beginning of millennium, research focus this alloy family has been wide ranging. The initial search for single-phase alloys expanded with aim improving mechanical properties. This can be achieved by several strengthening mechanisms such as solid-solution hardening, hot and cold working precipitation hardening. Both single- multiphase high- medium-entropy optimized strength via processing routes, is case conventional only one base element, steels or Ni-based superalloys. Graphical abstract
