An object of the present invention is to provide an exhaust pipe that can lower the temperature of exhaust gases when the exhaust gases having a high temperature pass through the exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe of the present invention, which allows exhaust gases to flow through the exhaust pipe, comprises a base that contains metal and has a cylindrical shape; and a surface-coating layer that contains a plurality of crystalline inorganic materials and an amorphous binder and is formed on the outer peripheral face of the base, wherein the plurality of crystalline inorganic materials are distributed in the surface-coating layer, in an accumulative manner in a thickness direction, and the amorphous binder has an average thickness of 20 μm or less at a location nearer the outer peripheral face of the exhaust pipe than a location of the crystalline inorganic materials.
1. An exhaust pipe allowing exhaust gases to flow through the exhaust pipe, the exhaust pipe comprising:
a base that contains metal and has a cylindrical shape; and
a surface-coating layer that contains a plurality of crystalline inorganic materials and an amorphous binder and is formed on the outer peripheral face of said base,
wherein
said plurality of crystalline inorganic materials are distributed in said surface-coating layer, in an accumulative manner in a thickness direction,
said amorphous binder has an average thickness of 20 μm or less at a location nearer the outer peripheral face of said exhaust pipe than a location of said crystalline inorganic materials,
said crystalline inorganic materials comprise MnO 2 , FeO, and CuO, and
said amorphous binder comprises BaO—SiO 2 glass.
2. The exhaust pipe according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a heat-receiving member having a surface-coating layer of the same composition as the surface-coating layer included in an exhaust pipe body that includes said base and said surface-coating layer, the surface-coating layer of the heat-receiving member being formed on the face which is placed over the exhaust pipe body.
