In order to improve the surface performance of 20Cr13 stainless steel，the M2 Febased and Ni60A Nibased alloy cladding layers were prepared on the substrate surface by laser cladding technology.The differences of metallographic structure，microhardness and electrochemical corrosion properties of the two cladding layers were studied by optical microscope，microhardness tester and electrochemical workstation.The results show that there are obvious white bright bands at the interface of the Fe/Ni based cladding layer and the substrate，and there are no defects such as pores and cracks.The microstructure of the Febased coating is mainly composed of equiaxed crystal and cellular crystal，while the microstructure of the Nibased coating is mainly composed of columnar crystal and dendritic crystal.The microhardness of the Febased coating was 5417HV，and that of the Nibased coating was 5923HV，which was 2~3 times of that of the matrix microhardness (2207HV).The Febased and Nibased coatings have formed a good metallurgical bond with the 20Cr13 steel substrate surface，and their surface hardness has been significantly improved.The microhardness of Ni60A Nibased material in the coatingzone is higher than that of M2 Febased material，and there is little difference in the microhardness of the two in the heat affected zone;The selfcorrosion potential of the ironbased coating (-021v) was slightly higher than that of the nickelbased coating (023v)，and the corrosion resistance of the ironbased coating was better than that of the nickelbased coating.
