A wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant loom part comprises a Fe--Cr based alloy or a Fe--Cr--Ni based alloy, which has a substantially dual-phase structure comprising a ferrite phase and a martensite phase. The Fe--Cr based alloy preferably contains 10 to 20% by weight Cr, and contains 5 to 70 volume % of the ferrite phase in its structure. The Fe--Cr--Ni based alloy preferably contains 10 to 30% by weight of Cr, 0.01 to 15% by weight of Ni, and 5 to 70 volume % of the ferrite phase in its structure. The maximum crystal particle diameter of the Fe--Cr based alloy or the Fe--Cr--Ni based alloy is preferably 20 .mu.m or less. The loom part is preferably formed of either a dent of a reed or a heddle.
