Abstract

Provided is an article having a novel surface with a texture different from conventional kinds. The article having a metal oxide-containing coating provided by the present invention comprises a substrate and a metal oxide-containing coating provided to the substrate surface. The metal oxide-containing coating has a Vickers hardness of 350 or higher, a surface roughness Ra of 300 nm or less, and a 20° gloss value of 50 or higher.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An article having a metal oxide-containing coating, the article comprising a substrate and a metal oxide-containing coating provided to a surface of the substrate, wherein

the thickness of the metal oxide-containing coating is 50 μm or larger,
the metal oxide-containing coating has a porosity of 1to 20%, and
the metal oxide-containing coating consists of a spray layer having a multi-layer structure with two or more layers.

2. The article according to claim 1 , wherein the metal oxide-containing coating is a coating formed by a spraying method.

3. The article according to claim 1 , wherein the metal oxide-containing coating has a thickness of 50 μm to 1000 μm.

4. A method for producing an article having a metal oxide-containing coating, the method comprising the steps of:
forming a metal oxide-containing coating having a Vickers hardness of 500 or higher above a surface of a substrate; and
polishing the surface of the metal oxide-containing coating, wherein
the metal oxide-containing coating after the polishing step has a surface roughness Ra of 300 nm or less and a 20° gloss value of 50 or higher,
wherein the metal oxide-containing coating consists of a spray layer having a multi-layer structure with two or more layers, wherein the thickness of the metal oxide-containing coating is 50 μm or larger, and the metal oxide-containing coating has a porosity of 1 to 20%.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the metal oxide-containing coating is formed by a spraying method.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the metal oxide-containing coating has a thickness of 50 μm to 1000 μm.

7. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the polishing step comprises:
a first polishing step where the surface of the metal oxide-containing coating formed is polished with a first polishing composition; and
a second polishing step where the surface of the metal oxide-containing coating after the first polishing step is polished with a second polishing composition.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein
the first polishing composition comprises an abrasive (A 1 ),
the second polishing composition comprises an abrasive (A 2 ) having a smaller average secondary particle diameter than the abrasive (A 1 ), and
the average secondary particle diameter of the abrasive (A 2 ) is 500 nm or smaller.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the abrasive (A 1 ) has an average secondary particle diameter of 1 μm to 10 μm.
