CoCrNi medium-entropy alloy (MEA) has excellent ductility, but the low strength at room temperature limits its practical usage. This study proposes an effective strategy to enhance the strength of CoCrNi MEA without apparent loss of ductility via partially recrystallized heterostructures resulted from doping of large atomic radius element, which was substantiated in a Mo-doping (CoCrNi)98Mo2 MEA. Compared with CoCrNi, the strength of (CoCrNi)98Mo2 is remarkably improved, maintaining the high uniform elongation of ∼24%. The yield strength and ultimate tensile strength increased from 950 MPa, 1287 MPa to 1131 MPa, 1564 MPa, respectively. The difference in deformation between the soft recrystallized region (SRR) and the hard non-recrystallized region (HNRR) leads to an excellent hetero-deformation induced (HDI) strengthening. Additionally, it is easier to reach the critical stress of twinning caused by high HDI stress at the interface of SRR/HNRR, which contributes to activation of high-density twins and produce dynamic Hall-Petch strengthening effect.
