Abstract
The present invention is related to high-entropy multielement alloys. The features of the alloys are that there are five to eleven major metallic elements and with or without minor elements, the minor elements are selected from the element group other than the major metallic elements, the mole fraction of each major metallic element in the alloy is between 5% and 30%, and the mole fraction of each minor element in the alloy is less than 3.5%. The high-entropy multielement alloys in the present invention are high in hardness, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance.
