In this study, we establish a mathematical rule for accelerating the prediction of low-cost Co-free AlCraFebNic FCC/B2-structured eutectic medium entropy alloys (EMEAs). The mathematical formulas are c ≥ 1.0, 4.38a + 4.28b + 3.97c ≈ 20.55, and c − a ˃ 1.0. With this rule, we successfully predict the AlCr1.18FeNi2.8 and AlCrFe1.46Ni2.5 eutectic alloys and verify their eutectic morphology by experiments. Both the AlCr1.18FeNi2.8 and AlCrFe1.46Ni2.5 EHEAs exhibit excellent compressive mechanical properties, with yield stress higher than 500 MPa, compressive fracture strength higher than 2450 MPa, and fracture strain > 40%, which can be attributed to their unique lamellar microstructure. Moreover, both alloys exhibit good corrosion resistance in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. Among them, the AlCr1.18FeNi2.8 EHEA exhibits better corrosion resistance due to the higher content of the FCC phase.
