Abstract
Deformation behavior of a high-entropy alloy (HEA) was investigated by in situ tensile
deformation with neutron diffraction. It was found that the face-centered cubic (FCC) HEA alloy
showed strong crystal elastic and plastic anisotropy, and the evolution of its lattice strains and
textures were similar to those observed in conventional FCC metals and alloys. Our results
demonstrated that, in spite of chemical complexity, the multi-component HEA behaved
like a simple FCC metal and the deformation was caused by the motion of mixed dislocations.
