The present work is focused on synthesis and mechanical properties evaluation of non-equiatomic Ni1,5Co1,5CrFeTi0,5, ductile single phase high entropy alloy (HEA) with excellent mechanical properties (bend strength Rmb = 2593 MPa, tensile strength Rm = 1384 MPa, tensile elongation to fracture of 4.01%, and elastic modulus of 216 GPa) surpassing those of traditional as-cast HEA. For the alloy production, a combination of mechanical alloying (MA) process in a planetary ball mill and spark plasma sintering (SPS) for powder densification was utilized. The tensile properties of a bulk material produced by a combination of MA + SPS are characterized for the first time. The feedstock powder and corresponding bulk material microstructure, elemental and phase composition, and mechanical properties were investigated by scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), X-ray diffraction (XRD), as well as impulse excitation of vibration, Vickers microhardness and tensile and bend strength tests, respectively. The structure of the samples consisted of single-phase FCC high entropy solid solution of extremely fine-twinned grains and oxide inclusions inherited from the original powder feedstock. Dimple-like morphology corresponding to ductile fracture mode has been observed on the fracture surfaces, with crack initiation sites on the inclusions phases.
