Precipitation strengthening is believed as an important strengthening method that optimizes the strength of alloys. Herein, the possibility of precipitation strengthening is demonstrated by introducing the intermetallic (Cr, Si)‐rich σ phase in the novel FeCrNiSi x MEAs system. It is found that simultaneous enhancement in strength and work hardening can be attained by adding Si element in the FeCrNi MEA. Specifically, the FeCrNiSi 0.2 alloy realizes a good balance of strength and ductility due to the precipitation of ultrafine‐ or even nanoscale‐sized σ phase. Moreover, quantitative analyses are conducted to assess the underlying strengthening mechanisms.
