Abstract

A composite material has a base substrate body with first and second coatings. Each coating is formed by a multiphase layer of titanium oxide and at least two oxides from the group of aluminum, zirconium, and hafnium oxide and a second single-phase layer on the first layer consisting of only one oxide of aluminum, zirconium, and hafnium.

Claims (13)

1. A composite material comprised of:

a base substrate body;

a first coating on the base body of a multiphase layer of titanium oxide and at least two oxides from the group of aluminum, zirconium, and hafnium oxide and a second single-phase layer on the first layer consisting of only one oxide of aluminum, zirconium, and hafnium; and

a second coating on the first coating of a multiphase layer of titanium oxide and at least two oxides from the group of aluminum, zirconium, and hafnium oxide and a second single-phase layer on the respective first layer consisting of only one oxide of aluminum, zirconium, and hafnium.

2. A composite material according to claim 1 wherein each multiphase layer contains an additional proportion of MgO or each single phase layer contains up to 1% of an additional titanium oxide.

3. The composite material according to claim 1 wherein the base body is composed of a hard metal, steel, cermet or ceramic.

4. The composite material according to claim 1 wherein between the substrate body and the first multiphase oxide layer, at least one layer of TiCN, HfCN or ZrCN is provided which has a thickness of 1 to 15 μm.

5. The composite material according to claim 1 wherein between each multiphase oxide layer and the respective single-phase oxide layer, one or more intermediate layers are provided of TiCN, HfCN, or ZrCN, each of which has a thickness between 0.2 μm to 3 μm.

6. The composite material according to claim 1 wherein the total thickness of all of the multiphase oxide layers and all single phase oxide layers is 6 to 20 μm, the thickness of an individual multiphase oxide layer being 2 to 6 μm, or the thickness of the individual single phase oxide layer being 1 to 5 μm.

7. The composite material according to claim 1 wherein the multilayer coating is produced by means of CVD.

8. The composite material according to claim 1 wherein the composite material is subjected to a final dry blast treatment using a granular blast agent composed of a high metal granulate and which at least in major part has a rounded grain configuration with a maximum diameter of 150 μm.

9. The composite material defined in claim 1 , further comprising:

a third coating on the second coating of a multiphase layer of titanium oxide and at least two oxides from the group of aluminum, zirconium, and hafnium oxide and a second single-phase layer on the respective first layer consisting of only one oxide of aluminum, zirconium, and hafnium.
