M2 high-speed steel samples were fabricated by laser additive manufacturing and tempered at different times at a temperature of 560°C. The microstructures of deposited samples were characterised by fine equiaxial grains, dendrites and inter-dendritic network-shape eutectic carbides and were composed of supersaturated martensite, retained austenite and M2C-type carbides. The content of retained austenite gradually decreased with increasing tempering times. Meanwhile, the micro-hardness of deposited samples was 688 ± 10 HV, while the first, second and third tempering times were 833 ± 13 Hv, 710 ± 6 Hv and 740 ± 7 Hv, respectively (standard deviations).Wear resistances of all samples showed an adhesive wear mechanism, and M2 HSS without tempering had a lower friction coefficient with an average of 0.52. M2 HSS after tempering twice at 560°C/2 h had a larger wear volume loss than others.
