Sliding wear-induced nanolayering and its positive impact on wear resistance have been observed in conventional binary alloys with a matrix of high stacking fault energy (SFE), but this concept has never been reported in high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with low SFE. Here, we design and fabricate a (CoCrF...
