My choice of Selected elements:

Al, Cu, Fe, are common elements. From the internet I wrote this. At least two costly elements should be taken, because here
we don’t have much choice between elements.

In my point of view Silicon is obvious choice, because high entropy alloys have structural as well as high temperature
applications. Its resistivity is very good and thermal conductivity is slightly high compared to Zn but it is sufficient.

Al, Cu, Fe, Si, Zn are fixed. [5]

Cr/Ni/Co/Ag/Ti --- Take two depends on the cost [6]

Cd/Mg; both are almost same in properties also, [7]

Ag [8] (Silver oxide around 3500-5000 rupees)

Because of the thermal conductivity and resistivity Li can be used, since it is an alkali metal and relatively low cost (If you
want to take a chance). [9]
