Abstract

Enhancing the strength of metallic materials has long been a primary goal for material scientists due to their significant potential for various industrial applications. However, the methods employed to increase the strength of metals often result in reduced deformation ability, leading to what is commonly termed as the strength-deformability trade-off dilemma. This paper offers a review of the advancements made in nanostructured multi-principal-element alloys (MPEAs) and discusses the challenges associated with simultaneously improving strength and deformability. This review summarizes the various common methods used to fabricate nanostructured MPEAs, including severe plastic deformation, physical vapor deposition, and mechanical alloying. In addition, this paper reviews the strengthening and deformation mechanisms intrinsic to these alloys. Finally, a brief outlook on potential future research directions for nanostructured MPEAs is provided.
