Laser cladding is an effective mean to repair the damaged components in remanufacture industry. The iron-based alloy coating was obtainment by laser cladding on grey cast iron (HT250). The microstructure and morphology of laser cladding were observed by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The micro hardness of laser cladding coating was tested. The wear properties of grey cast iron and laser cladding coating at room temperature without lubrication were evaluated by sliding wear tests. The distribution regularity of surface residual stress of substrate and cladding coating was obtained. It was shown that the laser cladding coating on grey cast iron has a homogeneous and dense microstructure. It was observed that the laser cladding coating presents a great hardness and excellent wear resistance. Tensile stress was generated in the surface of laser cladding coating.
