Abstract: In recent years, Co-Cr-Ni medium-entropy alloys have attracted extensive attention in the field of materials research owing to its outstanding properties. However, with the change of chemical composition in single crystal Co-Cr-Ni medium-entropy alloys, the influence of internal microstructure on mechanical properties such as plasticity and hardness still needs detailed exploration. This work, by utilizing molecular dynamics simulation, investigated in depth a variety of single crystal Co-Cr-Ni medium-entropy alloys with different compositions, including the stoichiometric CoCrNi, and the non-stoichiometric Co10(CrNi)90, Cr10(CoNi)90, and Ni10(CoCr)90. The results revealed the significant difference of mechanical properties of materials with different compositions, including yield stress, Young's modulus, and flow stress. Furthermore, the Lomer-Cottrell lock structure, stacking fault tetrahedron, and microstructure evolution, as well as the strengthening effect of these factors on the material, were also analyzed.
