This study presents the phase analysis, microstructural characteristics, and mechanical property evaluation of the as-cast and quenched Ti-15Mo-xFe alloys with high iron content ranging from 4 to 12 weight percent. All the four alloys were produced in a vacuum-arc melting furnace. Heat treatment in the form of solution treatment was performed in a muffle furnace at a temperature of 1100 °C, with 1-h holding time and the samples were rapidly quenched in ice-brine.

A systematic framework for choosing the most determinant combination of predictor features and solving the multiclass phase classification problem associated with high-entropy alloy (HEA) was recently proposed [1]. The data associated with that research paper, titled "", is presented in this data article. This dataset is a systematic documentation and comprehensive survey of experimentally reported HEA microstructures.

Fretting corrosion is a critical challenge in the design of hip prosthesis used in total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgeries. Currently, the design of hip implants includes a tapered junction which introduces additional interfaces that connect different parts of the hip implant such as the femoral neck and head or stem and neck interface. Micro motions that occur under the influence of load, together with chemical changes in the host environment, make these interfaces susceptible to tribocorrosion processes, particularly fretting corrosion.
