High-Entropy Alloys
This chapter is in the book High-Entropy Alloys

Abstract

There are various synthesis and processing routes for producing high-entropy alloys (HEAs). Based on the constituent elements that are mixed, the processing routes and synthesis techniques are classified into liquid mixing, solid-state mixing, and gasstate mixing. Processing routes mostly affect the property and structural stability of HEAs. Each route and synthesis technique has its own significant advantages, disadvantages, and limitations. Based on the requirements, proper and suitable selection of processing routes and synthesis techniques is important. In this chapter, the classification of processing routes, synthesis techniques, and significant advantages and disadvantages along with certain limitations are discussed in detail.
