Review of electrodeposition methods for the preparation of high-entropy alloys

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are suitable for engineering applications requiring excellent mechanical, corrosion, thermal, and magnetic properties. In the last decade, electrodeposition has emerged as a promising synthesis technique for HEAs. Research has focused on the influence of procedure parameters on the deposition of different HEA layers and the effect of their microstructure on their corrosion and magnetic properties. This review of current literature provides comprehensive information on HEAs and the use of direct and pulse electrodeposition as a synthesis technique for these materials. This review also addresses the research gaps on HEA production via electrodeposition, such as using other ceramic particles instead of graphene oxide in composite structures based on HEAs.
