Abstract:Stability descriptors for the formation of solid solutions can be divided into two categories: inspired by Hume–Rothery rules (HRR) and derived from thermodynamic approaches. Herein, HRRs are extended from binary to high‐entropy alloys (HEAs) focusing on compositions prepared by ball milling. Parameters describing stability criteria are interrelated and implicitly account for the microstrains’ storage energy, more determinant than entropy increase in stabilization of HEAs and more effective in bcc structures t… Show more
