Grain refinement increases yield strength, but usually at the cost of ductility reduction. In the present work, we explored the strategy of grain refinement and composition tuning in CoCrNi alloys to optimize mechanical properties. Grain refinement was found to strongly suppress deformation-induced martensitic transformation in metastable CoCrNi alloys, which was utilized to modulate the transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect in combination with composition tuning guided by theoretical calculations. We demonstrated in a non-equiatomic CoCrNi TRIP medium-entropy alloy (MEA) that our approach resulted in an excellent combination of strength and ductility. The proposed strategy is expected to be useful in exploring superior mechanical properties of MEAs and high-entropy alloys in varying systems.
