Abstract: Since their early development, High-Entropy Alloys have fueled the investigation of exotic metal combinations. Here, we present a strategy for the rational design of a library for multi-component alloys based on six hcp-structured metals. Seven five- and six-component equimolar alloys based on Co, Gd, Y, Sc, Ti and Zr were prepared via induction melting and characterized by PXRD, SEM–EDX and Vickers hardness. They all present ternary hexagonal phases (ScTiZr or GdScY) co-existing with one or more cubic phases and intermetallic compounds. Both ScTiZr and GdScY appear promising as the starting point for new single-phase High-Entropy Alloys families.
