  High-entropy alloys (HEAs) typically contain five or more major elements, with each constituent present in equimolar or near-equimolar ratios. This alloy design concept was first proposed in 2004 by Professor Yue Junwei and his research team at National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan [1]. Unlike traditional alloys, HEAs exhibit high-entropy effects, hysteretic diffusion effects, lattice distortion e
