Beschichteter Verbundkörper aus hochschmelzenden Metallen.

摘要

The coated article includes a refractory metal substrate (2) having an oxidation resistant intermetallic layer (4) formed in situ thereon; e.g., a fused refractory metal silicide containing layer (4), and a ceramic layer (6) applied on and adhering to the intermetallic layer (4) to provide enhanced high temperature properties and resistance to premature catastrophic failure in high temperature oxidizing environments where materials are present that may destructively react with the intermetallic layer (4). The refractory metal substrate (2) may be coated on only one side or on both sides by the said intermetallic-ceramic layer system.
