In the paper, Ni45 coating was manufactured by laser cladding on 42CrMoA alloy steel using the 5 kW CO2 laser, four-axis CNC machines and the coaxial powder feeding system. It was investigated that the effects of nano-WC on microstructure and wear resistance of the Ni-based coating. The macromorphology and microstructures were analyzed by SEM, XRD and microhardness tester. The wear tests were conducted on the Friction and Wear tester. The microstructure was first refined and then coarsened as the increase of nano-WC addition. When the nano-WC addition is 3.0 wt.%, the coating showed the finest microstructure. The clad layers including γ-Ni, N3B, M23C6 and WC, W2C. Meanwhlie, the wear rates of coating were gradually decreased.
