Abstract Laser cladded NiCrBSi alloy coating was fabricated on the surface of a 42CrMo roll using a 6 kW fiber laser. The effects of the laser power, scanning speed and feeding rate on the cladding layer form, size, dilution rate, microstructure, and hardness of coating were studied by using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a microhardness tester. The results show that the microstructure, size, dilution rate and hardness of the cladding layer had changed with an increase in laser power, powder feeding rate and scanning speed. The appropriate parameters of the laser cladding experiment are as follows: the laser power is 2000 W, powder feed rate 20 g × min-1, the scanning speed 4 mm × s -1 . The cladding layer and the substrate exhibit good metallurgical bonding under the above processing parameters. The microstructure of the cladding layer is fine, the dilution rate is 9.8 wt.-%, and the microhardness of the cladding layer is 710.7 HV.
