A fine scale second phase distribution is important for strengthening metallic materials. High precipitate density is often difficult to achieve due to sluggish precipitation kinetics and limited nucleation sites. Based on the CALPHAD predictions, transition element-based complex concentrated alloys (CCAs)/ High Entropy Alloys (HEAs), have a highly stable face-centered cubic (FCC) phase and intermetallic B2 phase. The precipitation of the strengthening B2 phase is often limited to low fractions in these alloys due to a high nucleation barrier in the FCC matrix. Here, by illustrating in three different alloys, we present a defect mediated nucleation of a high fraction equilibrium B2 phase. The degree of cold work is used to manipulate the phase fraction, morphology, and distribution of B2 precipitates. Our approach synergistically improves the strength and ductility of these alloys and is widely applicable to many other complex alloys.
