A FeCoNiCrCuTiMoAlSiB0.5 high-entropy alloy (HEA) comprised of a lath-like martensite phase was fabricated by laser cladding. The alloy combines attractive properties including hardness (11.6 GPa), elastic constant (187.1 GPa), fracture toughness (50.9 MPa m(0.5)) and softening resistance (up to 900 degrees C). The nucleation of the martensite phase is co-triggered by laser rapid solidification and interstitial boron solute, owing to the improved lattice strain energy. The designed strengthening by martensite and interstitial solutes may enhance both hardness and toughness in other rapidly solidified HEAs. (C) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
