The meaning and characteristics of refractory high entropy alloys were briefly described, and the preparation methods of various refractory high entropy alloys (bulk, film and coating) were summarized.The comprehensive properties of refractory high entropy alloys were emphatically expounded. It was suggested that the composition design should be optimized by constructing a special database of refractory high entropy alloys, and the manufacturability of different preparation methods should be focused on. In view of the shortcomings of high room temperature brittleness, high density and high cost of refractory high entropy alloys at present, different preparation methods could be selected according to the properties of refractory high entropy alloys for future industrial application.
