Abstract：In order to improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of 316 stainless steel for vehicle used,
FeCrCoNi high entropy alloy coating were prepared on the surface of 316 stainless steel by laser cladding in situ
synthesis. The phase composition, element distribution, microhardness and wear resistance of FeCrCoNi high
entropy alloy coating were studied. The results show that the FeCrCoNi high entropy alloy coating prepared in situ
has no cracks, pores and other defects, and has good metallurgical bonding with the substrate. FeCrCoNi high entropy
alloy coating is composed of a single FCC phase with dendrite and interdendrite structures. All elements are
evenly distributed without obvious segregation. The microhardness of FeCrCoNi high entropy alloy coating is
287.3 HV, which is about 50% higher than that of 316 stainless steel substrate. The average friction coefficients of
FeCrCoNi high entropy alloy coating are 0.377 and 0.438, respectively, and the wear rate of FeCrCoNi high entropy
alloy coating is 70% lower than the wear rate of 2.27×10-5 mm3/N·m and 6.17×10-5 mm3/N·m, respectively. The
wear mechanism of FeCrCoNi high entropy alloy coating is abrasive wear.
