This study examines the effects of different addition levels of tungsten (W) content on the microstructure, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, microhardness, and phase composition of coatings made from FeCoCrNiAl high-entropy alloy (HEA) using the laser cladding technique. Using a preset powder method, FeCoCrNiAlWx (where x represents the molar fraction of W, x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) HEA coatings were cladded onto the surface of 45 steel. The different cladding materials were tested for dry friction by using a reciprocating friction and wear testing machine. Subsequently, the detailed analysis of the microstructure, phase composition, corrosion resistance, wear traces, and hardness characteristics were carried out using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), electrochemical workstation, and microhardness tester. The results reveal that as the W content increases, the macro-morphology of the FeCoCrNiAlWx HEA cladding coating deteriorates; the microstructure of the FeCoCrNiAlWx HEA cladding coating, composed of μ phase and face-centered cubic solid solution, undergoes an evolution process from dendritic crystals to cellular crystals. Notably, with the increase in W content, the average microhardness of the cladding coating shows a significant upward trend, with FeCoCrNiAlW0.8 reaching an average hardness of 756.83 HV0.2, which is 2.97 times higher than the 45 steel substrate. At the same time, the friction coefficient of the cladding coating gradually decreases, indicating enhanced wear resistance. Specifically, the friction coefficients of FeCoCrNiAlW0.6 and FeCoCrNiAlW0.8 are similar, approximately 0.527. The friction and wear mechanisms are mainly adhesive and abrasive wear. In a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, the increase in W content results in a positive shift in the corrosion potential of the cladding coating. The FeCoCrNiAlW0.8 exhibits a corrosion potential approximately 403 mV higher than that of FeCoCrNiAl. The corrosion current density significantly decreases from 5.43 × 10−6 A/cm2 to 5.26 × 10−9 A/cm2, which suggests a significant enhancement in the corrosion resistance of the cladding coating.
