Laser cladding technology, as an efficient surface modification and remanufacturing method, has attracted widespread attention in the fields of material surface strengthening and repair of failed components due to its concentrated heat input, good metallurgical bonding between the cladding layer and the substrate, and strong controllability of microstructure. Research on laser cladding coatings based on different alloy systems has achieved extensive results in process parameter optimization, microstructural evolution, defect control, and performance enhancement. This paper systematically reviews relevant domestic and international studies on laser cladding coatings published over the past decade, with a focus on the microstructural characteristics and performance of nickel-based, cobalt-based, iron-based, and composite coatings. The mechanisms of microstructure formation during laser cladding and their effects on mechanical properties, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance are summarized. On this basis, common issues and development trends in current research are analyzed and discussed, aiming to provide references for further studies and engineering applications of laser cladding coating technology.
