Recently, a new generation of structural materials, termed as multicomponent high-entropy alloys (HEAs), has been developing. The concept of high entropy provide a new path of developing advanced materials which may potentially break the properties limits of tradicional materials obtained by the conventional micro-alloying methods based on one dominant element. The HEAs consist of at least five principal metallic elements with an approximately equiatomic ratio for maximizing the compositional entropy and form a solid solution phase. Mixing of various elements results typically in high atomic-level stress, which leads to the possibility of achieving high irradiation resistances through unique damage healing mechanisms [1].
