Abstract
Eutectic alloys are a class of multi-phase materials named for their formation through eutectic reactions during solidification. They have a long history as the most widely used casting alloys. High-entropy alloys (HEAs), on the other hand, are a novel class of multi-principal element alloys that have rapidly developed since their conceptualization in 2004. Combining the advantages of eutectic alloys and HEAs, eutectic high-entropy alloys (EHEAs) were first proposed in 2014. Over a decade, EHEAs have been systematically investigated by focusing on alloy design, microstructure/performance optimization, large-scale fabrication, and potential applications. Their unique microstructures and excellent comprehensive properties have made EHEAs promising materials across various domains, garnering significant attention in recent years. By revisiting the advances in composition design, manufacturing, and applications of EHEAs over the past decade, this review offered insights into future trends and developments in this rapidly evolving field.
