Nickel-based　coatings　obtained　by　laser　melting　are　broadly　applied　for　surface　modification　owing　to　their　high　bond　strength　and　exceptional　wear　resistance.　Nickel-based　laser　cladding　coatings　are　also　extensively　employed　in　high　temperature　wear　environments.　In　this　paper,　the　research　progress　on　improving　the　high　temperature　wear　resistance　of　laser　cladding　nickel-based　composite　coatings　was　reviewed　by　introducing　a　hard　ceramic　phase,　adding　solid　lubricants　and　rare　earth　elements.　On　this　basis,　the　material　system　to　enhance　the　high　temperature　wear　resistance　of　coating　was　summarized　from　the　perspectives　of　the　type,　addition　amount,　morphology　and　distribution　law　of　the　hard　ceramic　phase,　etc.　The　synergistic　effect　of　various　lubricants　on　improving　the　high　temperature　wear　resistance　of　coating　was　discussed,　and　the　action　mechanism　of　solid　lubricants　in　the　high　temperature　extreme　environment　was　analyzed.　Finally,　this　paper　summarizes　the　main　difficulties　involved　in　increasing　the　high　temperature　wear　resistance　of　nickel-based　coatings　and　some　problems　worthy　of　attention　in　the　future　development.
