“…Crystallographically, the typical atomic structure in HEAs includeface centered cubic (FCC) and/or body centered cubic (BCC) crystal structure(s), with or without nano-precipitates (Yeh et al, 2004a;Tong et al, 2005). The complexity in the atomic structure of HEAs as accompanied by heavy solid solution strengthening, binding enhancement and fine-grain strengthening, can lead to superior mechanical properties at high temperatures, such as relatively high hardness (Huang et al, 2007;Lin et al, 2011)and mechanical strengths (Zhou et al, 2007a;Yang et al, 2012), good thermal stability (Sriharitha et al, 2014)and work hardenability (Varalakshmi et al, 2008), excellent anticorrosive properties (Chou et al, 2010a, b)and wear resistance (Wang et al, 2013(Wang et al, , 2011, and unique magnetic properties (Tariq et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2012). Such a combination of impressive mechanical properties renders HEAs one of the most promising candidate structural materials for future engineering, and industrial applications, such as sport goods, nuclear technology, aerospace engineering, superconductorand hydrogen storage (2014; Otto et al, 2013a;Zhang et al, 2013;Tsai et al, 2013a;Sheng et al, 2013;Tsai et al, 2013b;Ng et al, 2012;Zhuang et al, 2012;Shun et al, 2012b;Hemphill et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2012a;Senkov & Woodward, 2011a;Hsu et al, 2011).…”
