Study on the Fretting Wear Behavior Over a Wide Temperature Range of an Inconel 718 Superalloy Deposited by Laser Cladding

•The fretting wear mechanisms of Inconel 718 alloys deposited by laser cladding in different temperature were analyzed.•In PSR, the wear damage mainly shows elastic–plastic deformation, fatigue wear and abrasive wear.•In MFR and GSR, the wear damage was mainl combined with fatigue wear, peeling, adhesive wear and oxidative wear.•High temperatures induces oxidation reactions during friction and slow down the wear of the material.
