Recent Patents on High-Entropy Alloy

摘要

Although high-entropy alloys were not reported in a scientific journal till 2003, the alloys had been investigated in (Taiwan) National Tsing Hua University in 1995. In more than ten years, the synthesization and application of high-entropy alloys have been widely patented. In this paper, we review the recent developments in the technology of high-entropy alloys and the patent literature in this area.
