Phase Formation in Equiatomic High Entropy Alloys: CALPHAD Approach and Experimental Studies

CALPHAD approach has been used to predict the stable phases, their relative amounts and compositions in multicomponent equiatomic high entropy alloys. The results show a good match between the predictions and experimental results on the phase formation for two equiatomic high entropy alloys (CrCoCuNi and CrCuMnNi alloys) prepared by mechanical alloying, considering the kinetic constraints of the non-equilibrium processing route. � Indian Institute of Metals 2012.
