A metal component which has a face which during use is thermally or mechanically more highly loaded than the environment thereof and which is at least partially covered with a glaze or enamel layer and a method for the production thereof. The metal component requires no specific limitations during the thermal processing operation and nonetheless ensures optimum protection for the surfaces which are highly loaded during use. The glaze or enamel layer contains, with respect to the enamel frit used to produce the enamel coating, from 2 to 35% by weight of an admixture of particles which consist of at least one material from glass, organic plastics materials, and synthetic oxide mixtures or melts, which each have a thermal expansion coefficient of a maximum of 5010.sup.7 K.sup.1 and a melting temperature of at least 500 C.

The present invention provides a coated metal member including a metal base and a coat layer made of an amorphous inorganic material formed on the metal base, the coat layer containing pores and carbon particles.
