The high entropy alloy coating prepared by laser cladding technology has excellent comprehensive mechanical properties and has become a research hotspot in the field of metal materials in recent years. It is found that adding hard ceramic particles can significantly improve the hardness, wear and corrosion resistance of high entropy alloy coatings prepared by laser cladding technology. In this paper, the strengthening mechanism of hard ceramic particle reinforced laser cladding high entropy alloy coating is summarized. Then, the ceramic particle reinforcement phases commonly used in recent years are reviewed from the aspects of direct addition and in-situ synthesis. The influence of ceramic particle reinforced phases on the microstructure and properties of high entropy alloy coatings are summarized. Finally, the development prospect of laser cladding ceramic particle reinforced high entropy alloy composite coating is prospected.
