Abstract
Eutectic high-entropy alloys(EHEAs),combining the advantages of both eutectic alloys and high-entropy alloys(HEAs),possess good castability and superior comprehensive mechanical properties which are re-garded as a revolutionary material system.In this paper,a current study of EHEAs is captured compre-hensively for the first time,including basic theory,microstructure and deformation behavior,and alloy design.An in-depth analysis of the formation of different microstructures of EHEAs and their mechani-cal properties is presented,and four methods of designing EHEAs are summarized.Due to their unique characteristics,EHEAs show great potential in materials processing engineering.Here we give a compre-hensive summary of their applications in welding,surface engineering,and additive manufacturing for the first time.Among them,EHEAs in welding are divided into three sections based on different welding techniques:fusion-based welding,solid-state welding,and diffusion reaction-based welding;EHEAs in surface engineering are separated into two parts:surface modification of bulk EHEAs and EHEA coatings;EHEAs in additive manufacturing are elaborated in two parts:laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)and laser direct energy deposition(LDED).Finally,a summary is given and a future outlook is prospected.
