Abstract

Developing advanced materials for plasma-facing components (PFCs) in fusion reactors is a crucial aspect for achieving sustained energy production. Tungsten (W) − based refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) have emerged as promising candidates due to their superior radiation tolerance and high-temperature strength. This review paper will focus on recent advancements in W-based RHEA research, with particular emphasis on: predictive modelling with machine learning (ML) to expedite the identification of optimal RHEA compositions; additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, highlighting their advantages for rapid prototyping and high-throughput multi-compositional sample production; mechanical properties relevant to PFC applications, including hardness, high-temperature strength, and ductility; and the radiation tolerance of W-based RHEAs under irradiated conditions. Finally, the key challenges and opportunities for future research, particularly the holistic analysis of candidate compositions as well as the role of radiation activation and oxidation are identified. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of W-based RHEAs for fusion applications and their potential to guide the development and validation of advanced refractory high entropy alloys.
