This review summarizes the state of high-entropy alloys and their combinatorial approaches, mainly considering their magnetic applications. Several earlier studies on high-entropy alloy properties, such as magnetic, wear, and corrosion behavior; different forms, such as thin films, nanowires, thermal spray coatings; specific treatments, such as plasma spraying and inclusion effects; and unique applications, such as welding, are summarized. High-entropy alloy systems that were reported for both their mechanical and magnetic properties are compared through the combination of their Young’s modulus, yield strength, remanent induction, and coercive force. Several potential applications requiring both mechanical and magnetic properties are reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
