The effect of Vanadium (V) on the microstructural evolution, Nano-mechanical behaviour and Tribological performance of the synthesized HEAs was investigated. Notable improvements to the Nano hardness of the HEAs were evident with an increase in V content from 1at% to 5at%. The addition of V altered the frictional behaviour of the HEA with an increased coefficient of friction as V is increased. The addition of V also greatly affected the microstructural orientation of the HEA, exhibiting signs of homogenization as V content increased.FulltextenHigh Entropy AlloysMicrostructureNano-IndentationTribological behaviourArticlen/a
