Preface
Scientific curiosity has driven Professors Jien-Wei Yeh and Brian Cantor to investigate multicomponent solid solution alloys in equal or near-equal molar ratios since 1995 and 1981, respectively. Both unconnectedly published their research in scientific journals in 2004. These unique alloys, in sharp contrast to traditional alloys based on one or two principal elements, have one striking characteristic: the unusually high entropy of mixing. Thus Prof. Yeh named these new alloys as high-entropy alloys (HEAs), and they soon have attracted the ever-rising interest from academia and industries all over the world. The history, definition, and progress of HEAs are introduced in Chap. 1, while their promising potential applications and perspectives are outlined in Chap. 15. Since the first six journal papers published in 2004, there have been tremendous progress and development in both the fundam
