| Abstract Scope |
Phase diagrams are useful for guiding alloy design and assessing trends in properties and stabilities; however, traditional visualization tools require plotting dimensions that scale with the number of components, making them ill-suited for high entropy alloys (HEAs) . To address this issue, we present symmetry-conserving radial heatmaps — that we call SymPlex plots [1]. These plots help visualize properties along high-symmetry paths radiating from a parent equimolar HEA to a set of chosen lower-order compositions. They capture the changes in the energy landscape and help visualize stability across the multinary phase space. The paths chosen for SymPlex plots are useful for mapping the properties associated with addition and removal of elements. Thus, they can represent intentional material manipulation, such as additive manufacturing, and incidental processes like corrosion. We discuss the use of SymPlex plots in visualizing convex hulls, composition-dependent properties and phase boundaries.
