Abstract
A wear-resistant coating, capable of imparting excellent wear resistance to a silent chain, comprises a base coating consisting of a hard inorganic material having interspersed particles of a hard inorganic material different from the inorganic material of the base coating. A part of the interspersed particles is exposed on the surface of the coating. The coating has superior oil-retaining properties as a result of gaps formed at the interface between the particles and the base coating, and the superior oil-retaining properties contribute to the wear-resistance of the coating.
