A New Strategy for the Design of Triple-Phase Eutectic High-Entropy Alloys Based on Infinite Solid Solution and Pseudo-Ternary Method

Abstract

Eutectic high-entropy alloys (EHEAs) have combined both highentropy alloys and eutectic alloy contributions, with excellent castability and hightemperature application potential. Yet, multielement/triple-phase eutectic highentropy alloy (TEHEA) designs remain puzzling. This work proposed a new strategy based on an infinite solid solution and pseudo-ternary model to reveal the puzzle of TEHEAs. The designed triple-phase eutectic high-entropy alloys (TEHEAs) with more than seven elements were identified as face-centered cubic (FCC), ordered body-centered cubic (B2), and Laves phase structures. In this work, the alloy C showcases outstanding comprehensive mechanical properties, offering a novel avenue for the design of high-performance EHEAs.
