Fatigue is a major cause of failure and requires dedicated investigation to validate the integrity of potential structural materials. As high and medium entropy alloys (HEAs and MEAs) are garnering significant attention from scientific communities, it is important to test the structural integrity of these novel alloys in cyclic loading environment. This study analyzed both monotonic and cyclic loading properties of a novel medium entropy alloy (MEA) CoCr1.3Ni in the ultrafine-grained (UFG) and fine grain (FG) conditions. The UFG MEA performs better than the FG MEA during cyclic loading. Microstructural evolution after cyclic loading via electron back-scattered diffraction shows microstructural stability of both FG and UFG microstructures. Transmission electron microscopy suggests formation of stacking faults and fine-scale HCP transformation during cyclic loading.
