In this summary we briefly review the 5 January 2015 recent studies focused on the structure and mechanical behavior of HEAs covering the Keywords High Entropy Alloy important issues from phase stability to elastic modulus mechanical strength hardness and Phase Stability fatigue resistance. Finally we highlight a few key findings recently reported for HEAs and Mechanical Properties discuss the outstanding issues yet to be resolved. Structure-Property Relation 2015 Growing Science Ltd. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction The notion of High Entropy Alloy HEA was proposed by Yeh and co-workers 2004a . Since then a continuously increasing research interest has been simulated in the field of materials science and engineering because of the promise that through the new routes of HEA design materials scientists may obtain new alloys with novel properties which cannot be achieve .
