Due to their distinct physical, chemical, and mechanical features, high-entropy alloys have significantly broadened the possibilities of designing metal materials, and are anticipated to hold a crucial position in key engineering domains such as aviation and aerospace. The fatigue performance of high-entropy alloys is a crucial aspect in assessing their applicability as a structural material with immense potential. This paper provides an overview of fatigue experiments conducted on high-entropy alloys in the past two decades, focusing on crack initiation behavior, crack propagation modes, and fatigue life prediction models.
Keywords: fatigue crack growth; fatigue crack initiation; fatigue life prediction model; fatigue property; high-entropy alloy.
