Table 1.

Actual chemical composition (at.%) of high-entropy or complex concentrated phases, namely bcc solid solutions (Nbss), tetragonal Nb5Si3 silicides, eutectics with Nbss and tetragonal Nb5Si3, A15-Nb3X (X = Al,Ge,Si,Sn) compounds, and C14-NbCr2 Laves phase, that can form in RM(Nb)ICs and RM(Nb)ICs/RCCAs, and the metallic UHTM. For nominal compositions of alloys see Appendix A. (AC = as cast, HT = heat treated).
