摘要	There has been significant progress in the development of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with unconventional compositions in the past decade to meet the demand from a wide variety of industries, such as automotive, shipbuilding, and aerospace. The fcc HEAs have attracted growing attention due to their superior mechanical and functional properties. However, these HEAs exhibit low or modest yield strength, limiting their potential industrial application. To enhance the strength of the fcc HEAs, materials researchers are exploring additional strengthening methods, such as grain refinement, solid solution strengthening, and precipitation strengthening. However, the strengthening approaches mentioned above suffer from the trade-off dilemma between strength and ductility. In this study, a new precipitation-hardened Fe53Mn15Ni15Cr10Al4Ti2C1 HEA was designed by adding Al, Ti, and C elements based on the fcc HEA. Then the HEA was treated utilizing heavy-deformation and various heat-treatment processes, tuning the microstructure and precipitate. The cold-rolled alloy microstructure presented rolling bands (including deformation twins) and a significant dislocation density. Furthermore, the HEA microstructure consists of rolling bands, high-density dislocations, and nanoscale precipitates following heat treatment at medium temperatures for an extended period. In particular, the HEA possessed a superior balance between strength and ductility, resulting from the significant precipitation strengthening effect of L1(2) precipitates that were coherent with the matrix in the microstructure as well as the improved strain-hardening ability due to the recovery of dislocations. The precipitation-hardened HEA with an inhomogeneous microstructure could be obtained through heat treatment at medium temperatures over long periods, which exhibited an excellent strength-ductility relationship.
