A surface coating for protecting substrates with Ti—Al material, preferably comprising one or more of the materials from table 1, wherein the coating comprises a layer sequence with at least one layer which forms a diffusion barrier for Ti, preferably according to one or more of the layer sequences specified in table 1 in rows, and wherein the coating comprises an oxidation barrier which is in particular adjusted to the diffusion barrier and preferably adjusted according to table 2, and in particular wherein the surface coating comprises a thermal barrier which is preferably adjusted to the oxidation barrier according to table 3.

A coating system for a surface of a superalloy component is provided. The coating system includes a MCrAlY coating on the surface of the superalloy component, where M is Ni, Fe, Co, or a combination thereof. The MCrAlY coating generally has a higher chromium content than the superalloy component. The MCrAlY coating also includes a platinum-group metal aluminide diffusion layer. The MCrAlY coating includes Re, Ta, or a mixture thereof. Methods are also provided for forming a coating system on a surface of a superalloy component.

This invention relates to a method, system and apparatus for cladding a surface of an articles subject to corrosive, erosive or abrasive wear, such as impact or grinding tools. The method includes providing a supply of stock material and feeding the stock material towards a portion of the surface of the article via a dedicated feed source. A dedicated heat source heats the fed stock material and the portion of the surface of the article such that the heated stock material and the portion of the surface at least partially melt. Upon removal of the heat, the molten feedstock and the surface portion form a bonded coating layer on at least a portion of the surface of the article, thereby protecting that part of the assembly against wear.

A low friction wear film includes a chromium layer provided on a surface of a metal substrate, a tungsten carbide layer provided on a surface of the chromium layer, and a diamond-like carbon layer as a top layer provided on a surface of the tungsten carbide layer. The tungsten carbide layer includes a chromium-tungsten carbide gradient layer and a tungsten carbide uniform layer. In the tungsten carbide layer, a tungsten-concentrated layer in which a tungsten simple substance is present is not provided at a boundary between the chromium-tungsten carbide gradient layer and the tungsten carbide uniform layer.

A superalloy workpiece includes a superalloy substrate and an interface layer (IF-1) of essentially the same superalloy composition directly on a surface of the superalloy substrate. A transition layer (TL) of essentially the same superalloy and superalloy oxides or a different metal composition and different metal oxides is on the interface layer (IF-1). The oxygen content of the transition layer increases from the interface layer (IF-1) towards a barrier layer (IF-2) of super alloy oxides or of different metal oxides.

A substrate for a flexible device which includes a stainless steel sheet, a nickel plating layer formed on a surface of the stainless steel sheet, and a glass layer of electrical insulating bismuth-based glass formed in the form of layer on a surface of the nickel plating layer.

A friction material comprises an Fe part which contains Fe as a main component, a coating layer formed on a surface of the Fe part, and a friction part formed on a surface of at least a part of the coating layer, and the coating layer comprises a first coating layer and a second coating layer which have a specific average thickness and a specific component in order from Fe part side, and in the second coating layer, in order of positions at which the thickness is 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% of the second coating layer from the side of the first coating layer to the side opposite thereto, a Cu content increases and a Ni content decreases.

A method of assessing the quality of a bond coat for bonding a ceramic coating to a metallic substrate comprises determining a thresholded summit area for the bond coat.

Turbine engine components are provided that have a repaired thermal barrier coating, along with their methods of formation and repair. The turbine engine component includes a thermal barrier coating on a first portion of a surface of a substrate; a repaired thermal barrier coating on a second portion of the surface of the substrate; and a ceramic coat on the outer bond coat. The thermal barrier coating includes an inner bonding layer and a first ceramic layer, with the inner bonding layer being positioned between the substrate and the first ceramic layer. The repaired thermal barrier coating generally includes an inner bond coat on the surface of the substrate and an outer bond coat on the inner bond coat. The inner bond coat is formed from a cobalt-containing material, while the outer bond coat is substantially free from cobalt.
