Sliding wear and tensile property are key factors that limits the lifetime of metallic components for a wide range of functional and structural applications [1]. Therefore, the design of materials with perfect wear resistance and tensile property are in great demand to ensure the durability, reliability, and efficiency of metal contacts in harsh environments [2, 3]. 45 steel is commonly used in the manufacture of key components of agricultural machinery such as crankshafts and gears, which are prone to performance problems such as non-wear resistance and corrosion under typical working conditions. Fe-Ni-Cr alloy is often used for 45 steel coatings to improve mechanical properties, which often fabricated by directed energy deposition (DED) technology [4–7].
