In order to improve the mechanical properties of the wear-resistant layer of the hob cutter ring in shield construction, the influence of different composite matrix powders on the comprehensive performance of the cladding layer was investigated. In this study, TiC-reinforced Fe-Ni-based cladding layers with different matrix compositions were prepared on a modified H13 steel base material using plasma cladding (PC) technology. The matrix powders included Ni-based alloy powder, iron powder Y, and iron powder R. The two iron powders were mixed in different proportions, and then an equal amount of Ni-based alloy powder and TiC ceramic particles were added to form five kinds of composite cladding layer alloy powders. The cladding layers of five different matrices were obtained by cladding. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the composite cladding layer were studied using a metallographic microscope (OM), an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), an electronic universal testing machine, an image processing microhardness tester, and an abrasive belt friction and wear testing machine. The results showed that the cladding layers of different samples had good metallurgical bonding with the base material. And the microstructure gradually refined from the bottom of the cladding layer to the top of the cladding layer. The cladding layer phases were mainly composed of Fe, FeO, TiC, FeNi, and CrNi. With the increase in the iron powder R ratio, the aggregation of alloy elements gradually alleviated. The ratio of iron powder R was increased from 1/10 to 2/5, the longitudinal shear strength between the cladding layer and the matrix was increased from 318 Mpa to 333 Mpa, and the transverse shear strength was increased from 303 Mpa to 342 Mpa. The hardness of the modified wear-resistant layer was better than that of the cladding layer without iron powder R, but the hardness of the cladding layer gradually decreased. After the modification of iron powder R, the wear resistance of the cladding layer was improved to varying degrees. When Y:R was 9:1, its wear resistance was the best, and the change trend of the wear resistance was consistent with that of hardness. The wear forms of different samples were adhesive wear and abrasive wear. And the height difference of the wear surface gradually increased with the improvement in wear resistance.
