Five equiatomic alloys (TiZrHfVNb, TiZrHfVTa, TiZrNbMoV, TiZrHfMoV and ZrNbMoHfV) composed of five elements with high melting temperature, respectively were prepared by arc-melting to develop a novel high temperature alloy. The five alloys exhibit different dendritic and interdendritic morphologies. The TiZrHfVNb, TiZrHfVTa and TiZrNbMoV alloys formed disordered solid solution phases with body-centered cubic structure, and exhibited high compressive strength and good plasticity. The TiZrHfMoV and ZrNbMoHfV alloys are composed with Laves phase (HfMo2) and disordered solid solution phases with body-centered cubic structure. The TiZrHfMoV and ZrNbMoHfV alloys are harder and more brittle than the other three alloys due to the existence of hard and brittle Laves phases. At high temperatures, the strength decreases to below 300 MPa for the TiZrHfVNb and TiZrHfMoV alloys. Solution strengthening is the primary strengthening mechanism of the TiZrHfVNb, TiZrHfVTa and TiZrNbMoV alloys, and brittle Laves phase is the main cause for the low ductility of the TiZrHfMoV and ZrNbMoHfV alloys.
