Abstract: In order to explore the influence of laser power on microstructure and properties of the clad layer, four different laser powers were designed to perform Fe-Cr-Ni clad layer preparation on the surface of 27SiMn steel. The microstructure, hardness, wear loss, and friction coefficient of the clad layers were studied by means of super depth of field microscope, microhardness tester and friction and wear tester. The results show that the clad layer of the specimens under four different laser powers has no defect such as pore and crack, and the dendrite growth directions of the specimen prepared under the laser power of 1800 W are relatively consistent. The cellular crystal and the secondary dendrite in the middle part of the clad layer prepared under the laser power of 2400 W are smaller and denser. As the laser power increases, the melting width, melting depth and dilution rate of the clad layer gradually increase, while the melting height first increases and then decreases. The laser power has little effect on hardness of the clad layer, but the increase of laser power can raise the hardness of the heat affected zone. The specimen prepared under the laser power of 2400 W has the minimum average friction coefficient, the least wear loss, the minimum wear depth, and its wear resistance is excellent.

Key words: laser cladding, laser power, 27SiMn steel, Fe-Cr-Ni coating, friction and wear
