Patent number: 10100651Abstract: A coated high-temperature component including a cobalt coating that has a higher carbon content is provided. A layer composed of a cobalt-based alloy is applied which is known as or is similar to substrate material, to the region of the component which is subject to the wear, wherein the component preferably comprises a nickel-based alloy as substrate material, the carbon content of which is lower than that of the cobalt-based alloy. At the high operating temperatures, carbon diffuses from the coating into the base material; this is normally undesirable, but here leads to a higher carbide proportion in the substrate and therefore to a higher hardness and therefore to an increased wear resistance.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2015Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Bernd Burbaum, Britta Laux
