The solidification microstructures of the TiNbTaZr medium-entropy alloy and TiNbTaZrX (X = V, Mo, and W) high-entropy alloys (HEAs), including the TiNbTaZrMo bio-HEA, were investigated. Equiaxed dendrite structures were observed in the ingots that were prepared by arc melting, regardless of the position of the ingots and the alloy system. In addition, no significant difference in the solidification microstructure was observed in TiZrNbTaMo bio-HEAs between the arc-melted (AM) ingots and cold crucible levitation melted (CCLM) ingots. A cold shut was observed in the AM ingots, but not in the CCLM ingots. The interdendrite regions tended to be enriched in Ti and Zr in the TiNbTaZr MEA and TiNbTaZrX (X = V, Mo, and W) HEAs. The distribution coefficients during solidification, which were estimated by thermodynamic calculations, could explain the distribution of the constituent elements in the dendrite and interdendrite regions. The thermodynamic calculations indicated that an increase in the concentration of the low melting-temperature V (2183 K) leads to a monotonic decrease in the liquidus temperature ( T  L ), and that increases in the concentration of high melting-temperature Mo (2896 K) and W (3695 K) lead to a monotonic increase in T  L in TiNbTaZrX  x  (X = V, Mo, and W) ( x =  0 - 2) HEAs.
