REPORT


Since defining and classifying alloys as configurational entropy terms began in 2004, numerous studies have been reported on high-entropy alloys (HEAs).[1, 2] HEA, which has a concept of composing elements different from conventional alloys, has attractive material properties and shows potential as a structural material. Gludovatz et al.[3] reported that equiatomic CrMnFeCoNi HEA had excellent fracture toughness due to twinning-induced plasticity behavior at cryogenic

temperatures. Li et al.[4] overcame the strength-ductility trade-off phenomenon using metastability of transformation-induced plasticity-assisted dual-phase HEA. Several HEAs also showed exceptional physical properties when exposed to specific environments. A facecentered cubic (FCC) type HEA showed superior hydrogen embrittlement resistance after hydrogencharging in gaseous state.[5,6] Besides, a body-centered cubic (BCC) type HEA composed of refractory elements showed remarkable high-temperature mechanical properties.[7] Furthermore, by intentionally forming a second phase[8,9] or a precipitate such as a carbide or Ni3Al gamma prime,[10,11] the mechanical properties of HEAs were improved. Numerous studies on the weldability of HEAs have been conducted, and they show great potential as structural materials. The weldability of various HEAs has been evaluated using friction stir welding (FSW),[12] fusion welding using an electron beam welding,[13] laser welding,[14] and gas tungsten arc welding.[15] In addition, the welding[16] or brazing[17] of HEAs with dissimilar materials have been reported. The aforementioned studies have shown that HEAs have good weldability. However, fusion welding results in a dendritic structure as well as chemical inhomogeneity of the high-entropy composition.[14,15] This is inevitable not only in FCC HEAs, but also in refractory BCC HEAs.[2, 7] Due to the phase instability of HEAs at intermediate temperatures,[18] the chemical segregation can promote phase decomposition. Additionally, fusion welding may cause solidification cracking due to various reasons.[19] Solid-state joining can be utilized to overcome the disadvantages of fusion welding of HEAs. It
