Abstract

Si-Al-O-N ceramics, especially β′-Sialon, are well known as a material offering a very good resistance against aggressive media combined with a good thermal shock behaviour. This combination recommends the Si-Al-O-N ceramics also as coating for products used in applications with high thermal gradients plus corrosion attack.

Therefore this paper presents new developments in the deposition of Si-Al-ON, especially in combination with the aircraft alloy TiAl6V4 as substrate. Investigations of the coating structure in dependence on the deposition parameters were done and the resistance against oxidation and attack of H2SO4 containing media were examined.
