Popis: Medium-entropy alloys strengthened by the L12-type coherent precipitates were recently proposed, whereas the mechanical property still needs to be improved. Here, we demonstrated a strategy for notably improving the strength of the representative (CoCrNi)94Ti3Al3 alloy, in which the refinement of grain structures and the promotion of precipitation were concurrently achieved by pre-strain followed by aging. A refined grain structure containing incoherent σ-precipitates and a large number of coherent L12-precipitates was formed, which enhances the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength up to 1431 MPa and 1683 MPa respectively. Furthermore, decreasing pre-strain temperature or increasing strain further aids the enhancement. The present study opens an avenue for fabricating high-performance precipitation-strengthened alloys.
