metal, providing ceramic particles, and applying the amorphous metal and
the ceramic particles to the surface by a spray. The coating comprises a
composite material made of amorphous metal that contains one or more of
the following elements in the specified range of composition: yttrium
(.gtoreq.1 atomic %), chromium (14 to 18 atomic %), molybdenum (.gtoreq.7
atomic %), tungsten (.gtoreq.1 atomic %), boron (.ltoreq.5 atomic %), or
carbon (.gtoreq.4 atomic %). |
