Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

High‐entropy alloys (HEAs) have emerged as a promising class of materials due to their unique chemical compositions and exceptional mechanical properties. Among them, Ti‐containing HEAs have gained significant attention for their applications in aerospace, biomedical, and high‐temperature environments, owing to their lightweight nature, superior strength, and excellent biocompatibility. The advent of additive manufacturing (AM) has further expanded the potential of these alloys by enabling precise microstructural control, enhanced mechanical performance, and cost‐effective production. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the recent advancements in the development of Ti‐containing HEAs using various AM techniques, including powder bed fusion (PBF) and direct energy deposition (DED). The study examines critical aspects, including alloy classification, feedstock preparation, and AM processing methods, microstructural evolution, and resultant mechanical properties. By integrating a data‐driven approach using Scopus records, this review systematically analyzes and compares mechanical properties across studies and explores the relationships among feedstock preparation, AM processing, and material performance. The insights presented in this work aim to guide future research directions, refine alloy design, and optimize AM processes to enhance the industrial applicability of Ti‐containing HEAs.
