TL;DR: The concept of high entropy introduces a new path of developing advanced materials with unique properties, which cannot be achieved by the conventional micro-alloying approach based on only one dominant element as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the factors of the atomic size difference Delta and the enthalpy of mixing ΔH mιx of the multi-component alloys were summarized from the literatures.

TL;DR: In this article, the phase formation for multi-component alloys has been predicted by calculating parameters Ω and δ for typical multichamber alloys reported, where Ω is defined as a parameter of the entropy of mixing timing the average melting temperature of the elements over the enthalpy of mixing, δ is the mean square deviation of the atomic size of elements.

TL;DR: A complete review of the current state of the art in the field of high entropy alloys can be found in this paper, where the authors present the fundamental knowledge present in this field, the spectrum of various alloy systems and their characteristics studied to date, current key focus areas, and the future scope of the field in terms of research and technological applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors designed AlCoCrFeNiTiTi0.5 alloy by using the strategy of equiatomic ratio and high entropy of mixing, which is composed mainly of body centered cubic solid solution and possesses excellent compressive mechanical properties.
