contents We employ a machine-learning force field, trained by a neural network (NN) with bispectrum coefficients as descriptors, to investigate the short-range order (SRO) influences on the BCC NbMoTaW alloy strengthening mechanism. The NN interatomic potential provides a transferable force field with density functional theory accuracy. This novel NN potential is applied to elucidate the SRO effects on the elasticity, vibrational modes, plasticity, and strength in the NbMoTaW multi-principal element alloy (MPEA). The results show the strong attraction among Mo-Ta pairs forming the local ordered B2 structures, which could be tuned via temperature and improved by Nb content. SRO increases the elastic constants and high-frequency phonon modes as well as introduces extra lattice friction of dislocation motion. This approach enables a rapid compositional screening, paves the way for computation-guided materials design of new MPEAs with better performance, and opens avenues for tuning the mechanical properties by processing optimization.
