Abstract: High-entropy alloys were proposed 15 years ago, which have received extensive attention because of their unique composition, simple microstructure and superior performance. According to the selection of elements, high-entropy alloys can be classified into several types, include 3d transition metal elements high-entropy alloys, refractory high-entropy alloys, lanthanide transition metal elements high-entropy alloys,lightweight high-entropy alloys and so on. Lightweight high-entropy alloys have been studied since 2010, their constituent elements mostly are light metal elements. Lightweight high-entropy alloys have the advantages of high strength, high hardness, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance and light weight. They can be used in aerospace, new energy vehicles, military industry and other fields. So lightweight high-entropy alloys have great development prospect. However, many factors restrict the development of lightweight high-entropy alloys, these factors include imperfect theoretical mechanism, immature preparation technology and high production cost. Imperfect theoretical mechanism is mainly reflected in the fact that four core effects cannot accurately explain the unique microstructure and properties of high-entropy alloys, and predicting the phase formation of lightweight high-entropy alloys is difficult. Immature preparation technology is mainly reflected in the fact that lightweight high-entropy alloys have few ways to be prepared and they are not conducive to mass production. The high cost is mainly reflected in the fact that many light metals are expensive and the atomic ratio of each element is very high. Due to the short history of lightweight high-entropy alloys, the above problems cannot be solved effectively. At present, researches focus on designing and preparing lightweight high-entropy alloys with low density and excellent mechanical properties according to the existing theories and production level. At present, some lightweight high-entropy alloys have been successfully prepared, such as Al20Li20Mg10Sc20Ti30, Al20Be20Fe10Si15Ti35 and AlLiMgZnSn. Their processing methods are as follows: mechanical alloying, arc melting and induction melting. They have high strength and low density which can provide guidance for other research. This review offers a retrospection of the research effortson lightweight high-entropy alloys, and provides elaborate descriptions about the core effects, the designing principles, the process routes, the microstructure and the mechanical properties. Meanwhile, the shortcomings of research on lightweight high-entropy alloys are analyzed and the future application of lightweight high-entropy alloys is prospected.
