The paper considers a new concept of alloy with high entropy (HEA) for biomedical applications. HEAs are different from the conventional metallic materials by more than five alloying elements, in proportions between 5% and 35% at., which may form simple solid solutions BCC and/or FCC phases instead complicated intermetallic ones. These specific features provide HEA excellent mechanical properties (hardness, strength, malleability), oxidation corrosion resistance, potential applications...
