Ni-W-Si intermetallic composite coatings consisting of primary tungsten dendrites and eutectic W/WSi2 were fabricated on 45 steel by laser cladding process using Ni-W-Si powder. The microstructure and composition of the coatings were characterized by SEM, XRD and EDS. The effect of the W content on the hardness and wear resistance of coatings was investigated. Results indicate that attributed to the high hardness and toughness of tungsten dendrites and fine and compact eutectic W/WSi2, coatings had high hardness being 950HV in maximum and the wear resistance was elevated to 4-8 times higher.
