  In this communication,we propose a sustainable way to produce high entropy
alloys from alloy scraps called Alloy mixing.We successfully demonstrate this
method using a near equimolar CrCuFeMnNi HEA. Alloy scraps (304L stainless
steel, Nichrome 80 and electrical wire grade Copper) obtained from various
sources were melted together using vacuum arc melting along with minor
additions of Mn and Cr to achieve the equiatomic composition.The alloy was
characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy,
which confirmed that the alloy produced through Alloy mixing exhibits a
microstructure similar to that of the alloy with the same composition produced
through conventional melting of pure elements
