Compositional diversity of high-entropy alloys increases lattice irregularities

The interaction of different elements leads to the complexity of the crystal lattice

Irregular lattice gives material higher strength and stiffness

Interactions between different elements enhance crystal stability

The interaction of different elements triggers the reinforcement of the interface

The arrangement of atoms at the interface plays an important role in improving the strength of the material

The dislocation structure in multi-component alloys is more complex and diverse

The presence of internal dislocations enhances the plasticity and toughness of the material

High-entropy alloys with multi-component components tend to form phaseless structures

Differences in forming abilities between elements lead to the formation of phaseless

Phaseless structures can weaken the strength and hardness of crystals

The existence of no phase makes high-entropy alloys have high toughness and plasticity

Choosing an appropriate preparation method can control the formation of phaseless structures

Adjusting material composition and processing parameters can change phase-free structural characteristics

Adding alloying elements with special interaction capabilities can regulate the formation of phaseless structures

The addition amount and combination of different alloying elements have different effects on the phase-free structure.
