Abstract
Abstract Corrosion-resistant, oxidation-resistant, and/or wear-resistant coatings are made of ternary ceramic compounds of the general formula (I):wherein M is at least one transition metal, X is an element selected from the group consisting of Si, Al, Ge, Pb, Sn, Ga, P, S, In, As, Tl and Cd, and Z is a non-metal selected from the group consisting of carbon and nitrogen; and/or compounds of the general formula (II):wherein M is at least one transition metal, X is at least one of Al, Ge, and Si, and Z is at least one of carbon and nitrogen. Such coatings may be applied by a thermal spraying process.

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
The article according to claim 1 , wherein the coating is a sprayed coating and wherein the at least one ceramic compound is present in the sprayed coating in an amount of at least about 70% by volume of the sprayed coating.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
The article having a surface with a coating according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the coating is at least about 0.002 inches.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
168 words
An article comprising a substrate in need of protection against oxidation, corrosion or wear and a coating on said substrate, said coating having at least one of corrosion-resistant, oxidation-resistant or wear-resistant properties, the coating produced by the process comprising the steps of: (a) providing a powder of at least one of a ceramic compound of the general formula(I): M 2 X 1 Z 1 (I) wherein M is at least one transition metal, X is an element selected from the group consisting of Si, Al, Ge, Pb, Sn, Ga, P, S, In, As, Tl and Cd, and Z is a non-metal selected from the group consisting of carbon and nitrogen; and a ceramic compound of the general formula (II): M 3 X 1 Z 2 (II) wherein M is at least one transition metal, X is at least one of Al, Ge, and Si, and Z is at least one of carbon and nitrogen; and (b) thermal spraying the powder of the at least compound onto the substrate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
168 words
An article comprising a substrate in need of protection against oxidation, corrosion or wear and a coating on said substrate, said coating having at least one of corrosion-resistant, oxidation-resistant or wear-resistant properties, the coating produced by the process comprising the steps of: (a) providing a powder of at least one of a ceramic compound of the general formula(I): M 2 X 1 Z 1 (I) wherein M is at least one transition metal, X is an element selected from the group consisting of Si, Al, Ge, Pb, Sn, Ga, P, S, In, As, Tl and Cd, and Z is a non-metal selected from the group consisting of carbon and nitrogen; and a ceramic compound of the general formula (II): M 3 X 1 Z 2 (II) wherein M is at least one transition metal, X is at least one of Al, Ge, and Si, and Z is at least one of carbon and nitrogen; and (b) thermal spraying the powder of the at least compound onto the substrate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
The article according to claim 5 , wherein the dissociation of the ceramic compound during the thermal spraying step is minimized by controlling the residence time of the powder particles within the thermal spray and the temperature of the spray.
