The recrystallized and pre-deformed CoCrNi medium-entropy alloy (MEA), introduced with high-density deformation twins, exhibits an unprecedented high yield strength up to 2.1 GPa. We found that the highly distorted deformation twins provide strong resistance to crack propagation and the activated dislocation motion accommodates the further plastic deformation. Our in situ tensile tests of pre-notched sample reveal that crack propagation through strain localization band eventually leads to fracture. This result offers new insights on design and processing of MEA for desired mechanical performance.
