TiB2　particle　and　TiB　short　fiber　reinforced　titanium　matrix　composite　coatings　were　prepared　utilizing　in　situ　synthesized　technique　by　laser　cladding　on　the　surface　of　Ti6Al4V　alloy.　Through　the　experiment,　it　was　found　that　the　surface　of　the　single-track　coatings　appeared　in　the　depression,　but　it　can　be　improved　by　laser　track　overlapping.　With　the　increase　of　laser　power　density,　the　amount　of　TiB　short　fiber　was　increased,　and　the　distribution　of　TiB2　and　TiB　became　more　uniform　from　the　top　to　bottom.　The　micro-hardness　of　TiB2/TiB　coating　showed　a　gradient　decreasing　trend,　and　the　average　micro　hardness　of　the　coatings　was　two-fold　higher　than　that　of　the　substrate.　Due　to　the　strengthening　effect　of　TiB2　particle　and　TiB　short　fiber,　the　wear　volume　loss　of　the　center　of　the　coating　was　approximately　30%　less　than　that　of　the　Ti-6Al-4V　substrate,　and　the　wear　mechanism　of　the　coating　was　mild　fatigue　particle　detachment.　(C)　2016　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
