Effects of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of Ni60/h-BN self-lubricating anti-wear composite coatings on 304 stainless steel by laser cladding

- Self-lubricating anti-wear composite coatings were fabricated by laser cladding.
- Effects of heat treatment on the coatings had been investigated systemically.
- Coating after heat treatment for 1 h presented the best tribological behaviors.
