ABSTRACT:
Improvements in ice skates, particularly ice skate blades which are protected against wear and dulling during use. In one form, a thin film of hard synthetic diamond or diamond-like material is formed in situ against the lower portion of an ice skate blade including the bottom surface thereof and portions of the side walls of the blade so as to define the left and right edges of the blade of a hard material which is resistant to erosion and wear. In another form, the entire blade of an ice skate is coated with such hard diamond material formed from atoms of carbon deposited from a fluid containing hydrocarbon molecules, such as methane gas through which high energy radiation, such as microwave radiation, is beamed against the blade. In a third form, the entire blade runner and the metal support for the blade are coated with a hard synthetic diamond or diamond-like material. In yet another form, the diamond or diamond-like material coated on the blade or select portion thereof, is overcoated with a thin layer of a protecting material, such as chromium or a chromium alloy, which protects the outer surface of the synthetic diamond material from surface erosion and abrasion.
