摘要 |
An article of mfr. comprising: (a) a metal substrate (1) supporting a first oxide layer comprising a first metallic element tightly bonded to it; (b) an anchoring layer (3) disposed on the substrate surface, the anchoring layer comprising a spinel formed with the first metallic element, a second metallic element and oxygen; and (c) a second oxide layer (2), containing an oxide of the second metallic element, disposed on the anchoring layer (3). Also claimed is a method of bonding the second oxide layer (2) to an article of mfr. formed of a substrate (1). The method comprises: (i) placing an anchoring layer (3) consisting of a spinel formed with the first metallic element, the second metallic element and oxygen; (ii) placing the second oxide layer (2) on the anchoring layer (3); and (iii) bonding the second layer (2) to the substrate (1) via the anchoring layer (3). |
