Usingab initiocalculations, we investigate the elastic properties of paramagnetic AlxCrMnFeCoNi (0 ≤x≤ 5) high-entropy alloys (HEAs) in both body-centered cubic (bcc) and face-centered cubic (fcc) structures. Comparison with available experimental data demonstrates that the employed approach describes accurately the elastic moduli. The predicted lattice constants increase monotonously with Al addition, whereas the elastic parameters exhibit complex composition dependences. The elastic anisotropy is unusually high for both phases. The brittle/ductile transitions formulated in terms of Cauchy pressure and Pugh ratio become consistent only when the strong elastic anisotropy is accounted for. The negative Cauchy pressure of CrMnFeCoNi is due to the relatively low bulk modulus andC12elastic constant, which in turn are consistent with the relatively low cohesive energy. The present findings in combination with the experimental data suggest anomalous metallic character for the HEAs system.
