In this work, high-throughput screening technology is applied to four-member refractory multi-principal element alloys (RMPEAs) films with high W content. The exploration of refractory metals such as W is strictly limited by the high melting temperature in this work; a multi-gradient deposition method was introduced to overcome this obstacle. By adjusting the power and distance from the target to the sample, component Zr11Mo11Ta25W53 with the best hardening performance was successfully obtained. The uniformity of the material library was analyzed from the perspectives of phase structure and micromorphology. With the help of Hume-Rothery theory and XRD analysis, it is shown that the film has a stable bcc structure. It is believed that film uniformity, nanoscale size, preferential orientation, surface roughness, and solution mechanism are the pivotal factors to improve hardness performance, especially for high W components. The hardness and modulus of elasticity can reach 20 GPa and 300 GPa, respectively, and the H/Er and H3/Er2 values are 0.067 and 0.065, showing the best wear resistance in many samples.
