single-phase solid solutions, the higher the EWF of a material, the higher atomic bond strength with higher mechanical stability. However, engineering materials are generally multi-phase materials. It is unclear whether or not the overall EWF of multiphase materials with specific microstructure features
their overall EWFs and explained based on the charge-compensation model. The calculated theoretical EWF was in consistent with experimental results. This study is of significance to the extension of utilizing EWF in structural materials design from single-phase materials to multi-phase ones.
