Abstract: High-Entropy Alloys (HEAs) represent a transformative class of materials characterized by multiple principal elements and high configurational entropy. This review article provides an in-depth examination of their structural particularities, prediction methodologies, and synthesis techniques. HEAs exhibit unique structural stability due to high-entropy effects, severe lattice distortions, and slow diffusion processes. Predictive models, including thermodynamic and kinetic approaches, are essential for understanding phase stability. Various synthesis methods impact HEA properties, and advanced characterization techniques are crucial for their study. The article highlights current applications and future research directions, emphasizing the potential of HEAs in diverse technological fields.
