The deformation of the CrMnFeCoNi2Cu multicomponent high-entropy alloy has been studied. X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, and microindentation have been used to analyze the distribution of elements, microstructure, phase transformations, and mechanical properties of the CrMnFeCoNi2Cu alloy. It has been shown that this alloy has a high potential of hardening in the course of the cold plastic deformation.
