IntroductionHigh Entropy Alloys (HEA) are the class of alloys having minimum of five principal elements with a concentration of constituent elements between 5 and 35 at% [1][2][3][4] . The microstructure, properties, and performance of HEA are driven by four core effects, i.e., high configurational entropy 1,5 , lattice distortion 3 , sluggish diffusion 6 , and cocktail effect 7 . Owing to these effects, HEA exhibit excellent tensile ductility, fracture toughness, corrosion resistance, and many other important properties of relevance [8][9][10][11][12][13] . The combination of desirable property attributes in HEAs makes these materials a perfect candidate for numerous applications, like in gas storage, in ion irradiation plants, and for biomedical implants [13][14][15] . The lower yield
