A coating for a metallic substrate has a metallic bond coat, a metallic seal coat and a centrally disposed layer of ceramic material. Transition layers comprising a controllably positioned mixture of metallic and ceramic materials are interposed, respectively, between the bond coat and the central layer of ceramic material, and between the seal coat and the central layer of ceramic material. The coating provides a desirable thermal barrier for internal engine components. Further, the coating is graded to avoid harmful internal thermal stress between dissimilar materials in the coating, and has a sealed external surface that is resistant to corrosion, erosion, hot gas infiltration, and wear during operation in an internal combustion engine.
