Titanium-induced phase changes and tribological behavior in cantor-based high entropy alloys.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study systematically examines the effects of titanium (Ti) incorporation on the phase evolution, magnetic behavior, thermal stability, and tribological performance of Cantor-based FeCrCoNiMnTix (x = 0.25–1.00) high-entropy alloys (HEAs) synthesized via planetary mechanical alloying. Comprehensive characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), static light scattering (SLS), and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) indicated that addition of Ti drove the transition from FCC-dominated to BCC-rich microstructures and promoted Laves phase formation. Thermodynamic predictions via JMatPro 7.0 corroborated the experimental findings, confirming the stability of multiphase structures at elevated temperatures. Mechanical alloyed powders were successfully deposited as coatings using spark plasma sintering (SPS) to ascertain their wear resistance, while magnetic characterization was performed for elucidating the phase behavior. The FeCrCoNiMnTi alloy (x = 1.00) exhibited a dominant BCC phase and the highest saturation magnetization (~ 55 emu/g). Thermal stability tests revealed that both Ti-free and Ti-containing alloys retained their phase structures after annealing at 900 °C. Tribological evaluations presented a progressive decline in wear rate from 9.00 × 10⁻⁵ to 3.78 × 10⁻⁵ mm³/N·m with increasing Ti content. This can be attributed to a synergistic hardening effect from the BCC matrix, Laves intermetallics, and in-situ formed carbide phases. These results highlight the potential of Ti-modified Cantor HEAs as promising candidates for wear-resistant coatings, emphasizing the critical role of compositional design in tailoring their structural and tribological properties.
