[0026]
 In particular, as the cracking activity is high, corrosion resistance since it improves, believed to correlate with corrosion resistance and catalytic. SO catalytically 3 is decomposed, SO 2 is presumed to be because the corrosion resistance of the next sulfur oxides is reduced.
[0027]
 Furthermore, if Cu in addition to the chromium oxide in the coating, V, or W or Mo is contained, the surface layer side of the film, Cu, V, W, when including Mo or noble metal element, these intrinsic catalytic action is exerted catalysis of the film is enhanced, the corrosion resistance is improved as a result.

[0048]
 2. Coating

 Then, the above film, Cr concentration is the maximum depth position (hereinafter, also referred to as "maximum Cr depth position".) The chemical composition in the, O, as a percentage of components excluding C and N, atomic% in, it should contain more than 50% Cr. The presence of moieties containing more than 50% Cr in the coating, it is possible to obtain a dense and high shielding properties oxide film. To further improve the corrosion resistance by improving the denseness and catalytic, Cr content in the maximum Cr depth position is preferably to 70% or more, more preferably 90% or more.
[0050]
 Further, the chromium oxide has a decomposable as a catalyst to sulfur oxides. Therefore, the higher the Cr content in the coating, the catalyst performance is increased, thereby improving the decomposition efficiency. Positive correlation is observed between the degradable and corrosion resistance as described above. In perhaps the film surface, highly corrosive SO 3 corrosivity is decomposed mild SO 2 that become corrosive to the base material not only film is presumed to decrease.
[0051]
 The thickness of the coating is a 0.1 ~ 50 [mu] m. Thickness is rarely observed the effect of barrier property is less than 0.1 [mu] m. On the other hand, when the thickness exceeds 50 [mu] m, more stress accumulation in the coating, cracking and peeling is likely to occur. As a result, penetration of sulfur oxides and hydrogen halide is facilitated, lowering the corrosion resistance. The thickness of the chromium oxide coating is preferably at 0.5μm or more, preferably at 20μm or less, more preferably 10μm or less.

Specifically, M is, CuO, Cu 2 O, CuOH, Cu (OH) 2 , MoO 3 , Mo (OH) 6 , WO 3 , W (OH) 6 may be included in the film in a like. As the existing form of M and PM, may be present in minute layers or dispersed film in which a main component Cr. Furthermore, M may be present in partially substituted chromium in chromium oxide.
[0054]
 Further, M in a film, may form a composite oxide of chromium. As the composite oxide, for example, CuCr 2 O 4 , CuCrO 2 , VCRO 4 , WCrO 4 , MoCrO 4 , Mo 2 (CrO 4 ) 3 and the like.

[0057]
 There is no particular restriction on the form in which M and / or PM is concentrated on the surface layer side of the film, to a layer comprising M and / or PM may be formed on the upper layer of the layer mainly composed of chromium oxide, it may have a graded composition such that the concentration of the surface layer side as M and / or PM of the film becomes high.
[0058]
 M and / or PM may be included in the maximum Cr depth position. That, M and / or PM is the maximum Cr depth position, may be present as a complex oxide of dispersed or chromium in the chromium oxide. However, as described above, since the Cr content at the maximum Cr depth position is required to be 50% or more, the content of M and PM at the maximum Cr depth position, to satisfy the (iii) below formula It is desirable
 ≦ 0.5 [Cu] P + [V] P + [W] P + [Mo] P + [PM] P ≦ 50 · · · (iii)  wherein each symbol in the above formula, Cr concentration is maximum each element in the composed depth position, O, represents the percentage (atomic%) to total components excluding C and N, PM is the meaning of the noble metal element.
[0059]
 In the present invention, the measurement of the composition in the surface layer and the maximum Cr depth position of the coating, Ar + shall perform XPS combining sputtering, AES, the depth analysis using SIMS or the like. Here, the "surface layer" means the region of 10 ~ 30 nm from the outermost surface of the coating, and to use the mean value of the measurement results of the above area as a surface layer of chemical composition. Also it specifies the maximum Cr depth position from the concentration profile in the depth direction of the Cr. Although Cr concentration sometimes becomes maximum at the surface of the film, in that case, the fact that the surface layer and the maximum Cr depth position coincides. The maximum Cr depth position is when there are a plurality of them to be employed closest depth position in the base material.
[0060]
 Thereafter, the surface layer and the maximum Cr depth position, determine the concentration of all metal elements contained in the film, the concentration of the respective metal elements, O, calculated as a percentage (atomic%) to total components excluding C and N. Here, the metal element contained in the coating of the present invention, Cr, Cu, V, W, in addition to Mo and the noble metal element, in addition to Ni and Fe which is the main element in the matrix, Si, Ti in some cases, Al, Mn, Nb, etc. are included in the trace.
