The issue of whether CoCrFeNi is a single-phase or dual-phase high-entropy alloy (HEA) has long been in dispute. In this study, CoCrFeNi has been verified to be a dual-phase HEA composed of dendritic phases with an FCC structure and inter-dendritic phases with a BCC structure. The BCC phases within inter-dendritic regions are identified as Cr3O oxides which form inevitably under the arc-melting process. Undercooling treatment under a strong magnetic field can regulate the composition and precipitation of the BCC phase, refine the grain size, and enhance the solid solubility, consequently, the mechanical performances of CoCrFeNi HEA are effectively enhanced.
