Abstract Effect of annealing of a cold-worked CoCrFeMnNi alloy at temperatures of 500–900 °C for 1–50 h on the structure and mechanical properties was studied in the present work. Annealing for an hour resulted in: i) recrystallization of the face-centered cubic (fcc) matrix at 600–900 °C; ii) precipitation of a Cr-rich body-centered cubic (bcc) phase at 500–700 °C or a sigma phase particles at 600–800 °C. Moreover, an increase in the annealing time to 50 h at 600 °C resulted in a continuous growth of both the fcc grans and bcc/sigma particles and in an increase in the fraction of the sigma phase at the expense of the bcc phase particles. The fcc grains growth was found to be controlled by the pinning effect of the second phase particles. Soaking for an hour at 500–600 °C resulted in a substantial increase in strength of the alloy due to the second phases precipitation. Meanwhile annealing at the higher temperatures as well as an increase in the annealing time at 600 °C resulted in softening; however, even after 50 h annealing, the alloy demonstrated reasonably high strength. In the latter case fine fcc grains, preserved due to the pinning effect by the second phases particles, contributed to strength mainly.
