Zusammenfassung:There is provided a carbide material (34) comprising Tungsten Carbide of 60 to 85 weight%, Titanium Carbides of 10 to 25 weight% and preferably a metal matrix of 0.5 to 20 weight% comprising Fe and optionally at least one or both of the metals Co or Ni. There is also provided a device comprising a ferrous substrate and such a carbide material and a method of manufacturing a device, the method comprising mixing powders comprising Carbon, Tungsten and a scavenger material such as Titanium, placing the mixed powders proximal a ferrous substrate (10), impinging an energy source (31) onto the powdered materials to create a melt pool (32) formed of the powders and the material of the substrate, and allowing the melt pool to solidify to form a carbide material (34) substantially free from Iron Tungsten carbides of (W, Fe)6 C and (W, Fe)12 C type.
