Abstract: In response to the complex failure behavior of the rolled parts during the use of remanufacturing rollers under high pressure and high temperature, this paper used laser cladding technology to prepare M4 high-speed steel (HSS) coating on ductile iron core material. The friction, wear and thermal fatigue properties of the HSS coating were studied using a high-temperature rolling-sliding friction, wear and thermal fatigue testing machine. The results show that the microstructure of the HSS coating is mainly martensite, a small amount of residual austenite, and alloy carbides. The coating has a microhardness of 823 $ HV_{0.5} $, and has good wear resistance and heat resistance. In the form of rolling-sliding friction and wear, as the surface contact temperature increases, the wear mechanism of the coating changes and the wear amount gradually decreases. At 440 °C, it exhibits fatigue wear and slight oxidation wear, at 525 °C, it exhibits oxidation wear and fatigue wear, and at 580 °C, it mainly exhibits oxidation wear.
