An approach for screening single phase high-entropy alloys using an in-house thermodynamic database
A new screening methodology is proposed to aid in the development of high-entropy alloys (HEAs). This approach takes into account three commonly used criteria and methods to guide the design of HEAs: empirical parameters, binary phase diagram inspection and the Calculation of Phase Diagrams (CALPHAD...

Summary: | A new screening methodology is proposed to aid in the development of high-entropy alloys (HEAs). This approach takes into account three commonly used criteria and methods to guide the design of HEAs: empirical parameters, binary phase diagram inspection and the Calculation of Phase Diagrams (CALPHAD) method. In addition, two novel concepts are introduced: a criterion to evaluate the likeliness of single phase solid solution in an alloy system's non-equiatomic compositional space, and a binary priority list, which allows us to make the employed in-house thermodynamic database a more reliable tool for solid solution screening in a time-effective manner.

•A novel and easy to replicate screening methodology was proposed in order to guide the design of high-entropy alloys (HEAs).•A criterion to evaluate the likeliness of single phase solid solution in the non-equiatomic compositional space was proposed.•A criterion to identify the most relevant weaknesses for solid solution screening in a thermodynamic database was proposed.•Over one hundred thousand compositions of HEAs candidate systems were analyzed; promising new HEA systems were identified.•Two novel HEAs (Co10Fe10Mn35Ni35Zn10 and Co10Fe10Mn30Ni30Zn20) were fabricated. |
