This study presented the wear behaviour of the NiCrBSi/WC composite claddings processed on an AISI 316L steel alloy substrate by laser cladding approach. The SEM morphology of the claddings has shown excellent substrate-cladding interface bonding, good WC particulate distribution, and no noticeable cracks and voids. The EDS spectra have confirmed the presence of respective NiCrBSi alloy matrix and WC elements. The XRD spectra have identified various phases and compounds such as gamma-Ni, FeNi3, Ni3B, Cr23C6, Ni3Si, and W2C commonly in all the processed composite claddings. The microhardness of the claddings was measured between 791 to 1086 HV0.2 for increasing the reinforcement WC particulate percentage from 15 to 60 wt.%. Compared with the substrate alloy the microhardness enhancement is about 470% with the claddings. The enhancement in wear resistance and coefficient friction of the claddings was determined as 89.46% and 81.83% with NiCrBSi/60wt.%WC claddings against the substrate. The wear rate maps and their respective cladding's worn surface morphology have described the wear mechanisms typically as adhesive, abrasive, oxidation, and delamination. The wear mechanisms in NiCrBSi/WC claddings are mainly influenced by the WC particulate percentage. The increased WC particulate content has increased the dominance of the abrasive wear mechanism while reducing the window of the adhesive wear mechanism. The windows of various wear mechanisms and their ranges for NiCrBSi/WC claddings with different WC reinforcement content comprehensibly represented the wear behavior for the varied conditions of dry sliding wear parameters.
