Abstract: In order to provide a nonmagnetic material for producing parts or coatings adapted for highly wear and corrosion intensive applications, said material comprising preformed particles made of tungsten carbide which are embedded in a metal phase made of a Ni-based alloy. It is suggested that the weight portion of said tungsten carbide particles is in the range between 30 wt. % and 65 wt. % and wherein the Ni-based alloy is a Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum alloy comprising: (in wt. %): Cr 11.0.-30.0? Mo 5.0-25.0? Fe ?0-10.0 B 0-5.0 Co ?0-2.5.

Abstract: In order to provide a material of low cost that is suitable to produce parts or coatings having a high wear and also high chemical resistance, an alloy is proposed comprising 13 to 16 percent by weight nickel (Ni), 13.5 to 16.5 percent by weight of chromium (Cr), 0.5 to 3 percent by weight of molybdenum (Mo), 3.5 to 4.5 percent by weight of silicon (Si), 3.5 to 4 percent by weight of boron (B) and 1.5 to 2.1 percent by weight of carbon (C), balance iron (Fe).
