Abstract: To improve the tribological properties of Ti6Al4V alloy, the laser clad composite coatings were prepared on the surface of Ti6Al4V alloy using pure Co powder, Co-2%Ti3SiC2, Co-5%Ti3SiC2, and Co-8%Ti3SiC2 mixed powder as raw materials. The phase composition, microstructure and tribological properties of the coatings at room temperature were analyzed by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and friction wear testing machine. The results show that all the composite coatings are bonded well with the substrate, with some porosities observed, and the main phases of the pure Co coating consist of γ-Co, CoTi, and CoTi2, while the phases of the Co-Ti3SiC2 coatings consist of γ-Co, CoTi, CoTi2, TiC, Ti5Si3 and residual Ti3SiC2. The hardness of the coatings is increased by 1.90-2.15 times compared with the matrix, and the wear resistance is correspondingly improved by 3.02 to 5.44 times.
