NiCr/Cr3C2 coatings were prepared on H13 steel by laser cladding. The microstructure and hardness of the coating were characterized by scanning electron microscope and microhardness tester. Then the wear resistance properties of the coating and H13 steel were tested by dry sliding friction and wear tester at room temperature. The wear resistances of the coating were investigated according to the wear morphology, the wear weight loss and the friction coefficient curve. The results show that the coating consists of dendrite, columnar crystals and cellular columnar crystals. In addition, the microhardness of the coating is higher than that of the matrix because the average microhardness of the coating is 2.5 times of the matrix. In the same wear condition, the wear resistance of the coating is obviously better than that of the matrix. The average friction coefficients of the coating and substrate are 0.488 3 and 0.678 7. And the average wear amount of the substrate is 3.6 times of the coating. Besides, the wear mechanism of the H13 steel matrix is mixed adhesion and abrasive wear while the coating is abrasive and fatigue wear. The results show that laser cladding NiCr/Cr3C2 alloy on H13 steel can significantly improve its wear resistance.
