? 2022 Elsevier B.V.Introducing heterogeneous interfaces by constructing laminated structure is a promising avenue to achieve the controllable strengthening behavior of high entropy alloys. In this work, the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of magnetron sputtered Ni/Fe50Mn30Co10Ni10 nanolaminates with equal layer thickness h ranging from 5 to 150 nm were investigated systematically. With reducing h, the nanoindentation hardness of Ni/FeMnCoNi nanolaminates firstly increased and subsequently decreased, emerging a maximum value at the critical h of ~25 nm due to the transformation of constraining barrier for dislocation slipping from the heterogeneous interfaces to columnar grain boundaries. Microstructural observation demonstrated that the interfacial structure of Ni/FeMnCoNi transformed from incoherent to completely coherent at h below ~25 nm, and both the constituent layers made comparable contribution to the plastic deformation of Ni/FeMnCoNi nanolaminates. The strong h-dependent mechanical behavior could be rationalized in terms of the co-deformation of constituent layers and the structural evolution of Ni/FeMnCoNi interface. Additionally, the strengthening mechanisms were discussed based on the confined slip of dislocation within the constituent layers and columnar grains.
