Abstract
The present invention provides an abrasion-resistant coating which has high oxidation resistance and durability and can be applied easily at a low cost. The abrasion-resistant coating in accordance with the present invention is formed at the tip end of a base material forming a gas turbine blade. The abrasion-resistant coating at the tip end has a thickness of 300 microns. On the tip end, hard particles H consisting of CBN are fixed in a bond coating formed by heating, melting, and solidification of a mixture of a brazing filler metal and M—Cr—Al—Y (M designates a metal element such as Co and Ni). The hard particles H are Ni and Co coated to improve wettability relative to the brazing filler metal, and are arranged so that some of them are partially protruded from the surface of bond coating to exhibit the grindability.
