The high-entropy alloy with composition AlCoCrFeNi2.1, additively manufactured with the laser powder-bed fusion technique, has a far-from-equilibrium BCC/FCC eutectic nanolamellar structure. We studied the high-pressure response of this alloy under both static compression and high-strain rate shock compression. The response to static compression using a diamond anvil cell was studied at pressures up to 302 GPa with synchrotron x-ray diffraction at the advanced photon source. The high-pressure FCC-only phase of the EHEA previously observed by Pope et al. [AIP Adv. 13, 035124 (2023)] is found to be stable up to the highest pressure achieved in this study with a volume compression of V/V0 = 0.587 at ambient temperature. The shock experiments were performed by using GEKKO XII lasers at the Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka University. The principal Hugoniot equation-of-state of the EHEA was measured up to a pressure of 515 GPa and a compression of V/V0 = 0.613. Additionally, the thermal equation of state of the EHEA was measured up to 6.2 GPa and 1623 K using a large-volume Paris–Edinburgh cell to obtain the temperature dependence of bulk modulus and thermal expansion coefficients. The melting temperature for EHEA AlCoCrFeNi2.1 at a pressure of 5.6 GPa was measured to be 1648 ± 25 K. These results can be used to refine stochastic (or special) quasi-random structure (SQS) models for high-pressure high-temperature behavior of high-entropy alloys.
