The high-entropy alloy is a novel multi-principal element alloy composed of five or more elements, and the molar mass of each element is equal or nearly equal. Thus, high entropy alloys have many textures and properties that are different from conventional alloys, such as high strength, good thermal stability, wear and corrosion resistance, high thermal resistance, high electrical resistance, and the like. The interface wettability and the interface compatibility of the high-entropy alloy and the aluminum matrix are good due to the natural interface bonding characteristic before metal and metal, and the problems of poor wettability, poor interface bonding and the like between the ceramic particle reinforcement and the metal matrix can be solved. Reports on preparing high-entropy alloy particle reinforced aluminum-based composite materials by adopting powder metallurgy, hot extrusion, hot-pressed sintering and the like are adopted, but the processes have great difficulty in forming large-size composite material blocks and formed parts.

X, and the agglomerates are formed by the poor dispersion of the high-entropy alloy, in addition, the micro-part of the high-entropy alloy particles is very favorable for heterogeneous nucleation of the high-temperature aluminum alloy matrix if the micro-part can be sufficiently evenly dispersed, so that the grains are greatly refined.
