The TiB2 reinforced Inconel 718 alloy composite coatings were prepared on carbon steel by laser cladding. The energy input (the ratio of laser power and scanning speed, E) was introduced to investigate the effects of process parameters on geometrical characteristics, microstructure and tribological properties of composite coatings. The results show that the dilution rate decreases and the contact angle increases, respectively, as E decreases from 200.00 J/mm to 80.00 J/mm, which causes the decrease of the boding strength from 1.91 GPa to 0.39 GPa. The composite coatings contain the phases of γ-(Ni, Fe), Laves, TiB2, TiB, TiC, Ni3B, CrB4 and Cr23C6. As E decreases from 200.00 J/mm to 133.33 J/mm, the primary dendrite arm spacing (PDAS) and the Laves content of the composite coating decrease for the increase of cooling rate, leading to the increase of microhardness, the improvement of tribological properties and the change of wear mechanism from the severe multi-plastic deformation wear, adhesive wear and oxidative wear to the slight abrasive wear. However, as E decreases from 133.33 J/mm to 80.00 J/mm, for the weak Marangoni convection, TiB2 particles are prone to aggregate in the top of the composite coating which causes the increase of the PDAS and the Laves content, leading to the decrease of the microhardness and the degradation of tribological properties, and the wear mechanism change to the multi-plastic deformation wear and abrasive wear gradually.
