Multilayered aluminiferous protective coating and component
The use of especially an aluminum alloy on a metal substrate in a PVD-AlTiN coating results in good corrosion and erosion protection.
1. A protective coating system, which has a bottom aluminiferous or zirconiferous sub-layer on a substrate, wherein the sublayer is at least one of directly on and in the substrate, wherein the sub-layer comprises only aluminum or an aluminum-zirconium alloy or only zircon and includes an outer multilayered-cover layer consisting of alternating TiAlN and AlTiN layers, which has been applied by PVD.
2. The protective coating system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sub-layer comprises a diffusion layer.
3. The protective coating system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the substrate is steel.
4. A compressor blade component, comprising:
a substrate; and
a protective coating system, wherein the protective coating system comprises a bottom sub-layer wherein the bottom sub-layer is an aluminiferous or zirconiferous sub-layer, wherein the bottom sub-layer comprises only aluminum or an aluminum-zirconium alloy or only zircon, and wherein the protective coating system comprises an outer multilayered cover layer consisting of alternating TiAlN and AlTiN layers, which has been applied by PVD.
5. The compressor blade component as claimed in claim 4 , in which the sub-layer is at least one of arranged directly on and in the substrate.
6. The compressor blade component as claimed in claim 4 , in which the sub-layer comprises a diffusion layer.
7. The compressor blade component as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the substrate is steel.
8. A method comprising:
providing a substrate, wherein the substrate is a compressor blade;
applying a sub-layer to the substrate, wherein the sub-layer is an aluminiferous or zirconiferous sub-layer and comprises only aluminum or an aluminum-zirconium alloy or only zircon; and
applying an outer multilayered cover layer consisting of alternating TiAlN and AlTiN layers on top of the sub-layer, wherein the outer multilayered cover layer is applied by PVD.
