description The present work reports the direct production of a high-entropy (HE) intermetallic CoNi<sub>0.3</sub>Fe<sub>0.3</sub>Cr<sub>0.15</sub>Al material with a B2 structure from mechanically activated elemental powder mixtures. Fast and efficient combustion synthesis (CS), spark plasma sintering (SPS), and reactive SPS (RSPS) methods were used to synthesize the HE powders and bulks. The formation of the main B2 phase along with some amounts of secondary BCC and FCC phases are reported, and L12 intermetallic (CS scheme) and BCC based on Cr (CS + SPS and RSPS schemes at 1000 °C) were observed in all samples. The interaction between the components during heating to 1600 °C of the mechanically activated mixtures and CS powders has been studied. It has been shown that the formation of the CoNi<sub>0.3</sub>Fe<sub>0.3</sub>Cr<sub>0.15</sub>Al phase occurs at 1370 °C through the formation of intermediate intermetallic phases (Al<sub>9</sub>Me<sub>2</sub>, AlCo, AlNi<sub>3</sub>) and their solid solutions, which coincidences well with thermodynamic calculations and solubility diagrams. Compression tests at room and elevated temperatures showed that the alloy obtained by the RSPS method has enhanced mechanical properties (σ<sub>p</sub> = 2.79 GPa, σ<sub>0.2</sub> = 1.82 GPa, ε = 11.5% at 400 °C) that surpass many known alloys in this system. High mechanical properties at elevated temperatures are provided by the B2 ordered phase due to the presence of impurity atoms and defects in the lattice.
