Laser cladding of Ni-based Ni60A+<i>x</i>% (SiC+Ti)(mass fraction,the same below) composite powder coating on 45 steel substrate was studied by using the method of preplaced powder. The dry friction and wear experiments of different material coatings were carried out by reciprocating friction wear tester. The microstructure and worn morphology of cladding layers were observed and analyzed by using metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscope(SEM) respectively. The results show that the prepared composite coating with dispersively distributed TiC enhanced particles are obtained <i>in-situ</i>, the size and number of the granular TiC gradually increase with the increase of the composite powder SiC+Ti. When the composite powder SiC+Ti reaches 60%, pores and inclusions defects exist in microstructure. When the composite powder SiC+Ti reaches 48%, wear resistance of cladding coating is the best. The wear behavior of the composite coating is abrasive wear, and the mechanism is micro cutting and extrusion spalling.
