Abstract: In recent years, high-entropy alloys have attracted significant attention due to their excellent properties, such as good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high impact toughness, high temperature oxidation resistance, and biocompatibility. Laser cladding (LC) is a modern surface strengthening technology with high energy density, rapid heating and cooling. It can obtain low dilution rate, small heat affected zone, less component segregation, and good metallurgical bonding. This article reviews the latest research progress of laser cladding high-entropy alloy coatings (LC-HEACs). Firstly, the design concept of high-entropy alloys and the advantages of LC-HEACs are summarized. The microstructure, properties and influence of alloying elements of LC-HEACs are introduced. Then, the effects of process parameters and assisted laser cladding technology on the phase structure and properties of LC-HEACs are discussed. Finally, the future development trend of LC-HEACs is summarized and prospected.
