The study investigates the shape memory behavior of Hf-rich high-entropy Ti-Hf-Zr-Ni-Cu-Co alloys pre-deformed in the martensitic state. Alloys exhibited significant strain recovery upon unloading that was attributed to the reversible reorientation of chemically stabilized martensite variants (rubber-like behavior). This resulted in low values of residual strain (
