Abstract
High-entropy alloy (HEA) coatings in the form of thin or thick films on substrates have been explored early in the 2000s even when bulk HEAs were found to be synthesizable and have promising properties. As the HEA concept and their core effects are similarly applicable to ceramic materials, research on HEA coatings included nitrides, carbides, oxides, and their mixed types. The conventional thin-film and thick-film technologies could be equally applied for HEA coatings and have been found to be successful in producing quality films. Moreover, promising properties and properties better than those of conventional coatings could be generated when proper HEA compositions and processes are designed. This chapter reviews conventional coatings and HEA coatings in thin and thick films as a good basis for future advanced studies.
