Patent ID: 7285151

Claim:
An iron based material for coating surfaces, comprising a binding phase in the form of a corrosion dense alloy which contains at least 50% Fe, 12-30% Cr, 6-40% Ni, 0-7% Mo, 0-1% N, 6-20% Si, and Mn being present in an amount not greater than 5%, all percentages stated as weight percent, which Si-addition lowers the liquidus temperature, that is the temperature at which the binding phase is completely melted, to a value below 1250° C., and the material also comprises hard particles based on one or a mixture of two or more oxides, nitrides, carbides, and borides, or one or a mixture of two or more of oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and boron, added to the material in such amounts that the formation of one or a mixture of two or more oxides, carbides, nitrides, and borides is formed.
