Alloy Design Strategies and Future Trends in High-Entropy Alloys

Abstract

The term "multimetallic cocktails" was first pro- posed by [S. Ranganathan]34 to emphasize alloy plea- sures in alloy design and development. To treat AIDS, cocktail treatment was invented by David Ho using the concept of three-drug therapy in 1996, which shows an impressive benefit with a 60-80% decline in rates of AIDS, death, and hospitalization. In [HEAs], the cocktail effect is also emphasized majorly because at least five major elements are used to enhance the properties of the materials.
