METALLURGICAL AND MATERIALS TRANSACTIONS A
after significant plastic deformation.[2] Accordingly, grain boundary strength and microstructural stress concentration at grain boundaries are key to controlling the resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. From the perspective of hydrogen embrittlement resistance, face-centered cubic (FCC) alloys such as austenitic steels and Ni alloys have been previously noted as hydrogen-resistant materials.[3–5] In FCC alloys, enhancement of dislocation planarity increases number of dislocations piling-up on a single slip plane, which increases stress concentration at obstacles such as grain boundaries. The stress concentration assists hydrogen segregation and cracking. Therefore, the hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility of these alloys is strongly dependent on the stacking fault energy[6] and the degree of short-range ordering of solute atoms,[7] as these are the primary factors that affect dislocation planarity. However, the superior work hardenability and elongation of recent structural FCC alloys stems from the high dislocation planarity and associated twinning/transformation [8,9]; therefore, we must establish a strategy for improving the resistance to hydrogen embrittlement of FCC alloys that exhibit planar dislocation slip. As advanced FCC alloys, CrCoFeMnNi high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have recently drawn attention,[10–12] and these also show high dislocation planarity associated with low stacking fault energies and short-range ordering.[13–15] For instance, an equiatomic CrCoFeM
