A detailed analysis of the flow curves and microstructural evolution of these alloys was conducted under different hot working conditions. Very slow dynamic recrystallization kinetics and a relatively high activation energy of hot deformation (Q=549 kJ/mol) were found for the Al0.3CoCrFeNi FCC HEA. The main restoration mechanism for this alloy was the formation of new grains through strain-induced migration of the grain boundaries. Increasing the Al content to 0.6 and 0.9 molar ratio changed the microstructure to a duplex one comprising of FCC and BCC phases. A complex restoration behaviour was observed for the FCC phase in the duplex structures consisting of discontinuous dynamic recrystallization at the vicinity of the interphases, and a gradual evolution of substructures resembling continuous dynamic recrystallization within the grains in regions far from interphases. The main softening mechanism within the BCC phase in the duplex microstructures was continuous dynamic recrystallization, characterised by a progressive conversion of low-misoriented subgrains into grains bounded by a mixture of low and high angle grain boundaries.
