DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA


These data were collected from the publications, then the physical parameters were calculated through MATLAB, TC-TOOLBOX and Thermo-Calc.

This dataset contains:

composition_of_HEAs.xlsx  Compositions of printed high entropy alloys collected from publicaitons
HEA_data_base_1_.xlsx Compositions of printed high entropy alloys collected from publicaitons
printability_version_1_.xlsx   Calculated criteria of printability for HEAs
SSH_model.zip  MATLAB script for calculating solid solution strengthening
