An improved coating used in plastic processing applications including a first layer system that includes at least one corrosion resistant material layer; a second layer system that includes at least one abrasion resistant material layers; and a transition layer provided between the first layer and the second layer. The coating is resistant to both abrasion and corrosion, while maintaining ductility and impact resistance.

Coating for enhanced performance and lifetime in plastic processing applications

Coated tool comprising a coated surface, the coated surface comprising a substrate having a surface on which a coating is deposited, wherein the substrate is made of a material comprising cobalt, and wherein the coating comprises at least one boron-comprising layer, wherein the at least one boron-comprising layer comprises Al and the boron comprised in this layer is present as boride, thereby the boron-comprising layer is able to form further layers for providing a diffusion barrier layer effect, in particular for stopping diffusion of cobalt from the substrate surface to the coating, when the coated tool or the coated surface is exposed to temperatures in a range between approximately 600 and 1200° C.

Coated tool with coating comprising boride-containing diffusion barrier layer

A coated tool for hot stamping of coated or uncoated sheet metals, comprising a coated substrate surface to be in contact with the coated or uncoated metal sheet, wherein the coating in the coated substrate surface comprises one or more inferior layers and one or more superior layers, where the inferior layers are deposited closer to the substrate surface than the superior layers, and:

High performance tool coating for press hardening of coated and uncoated ultrahigh strength steel sheet metals

A component of a turbine, in particular a gas turbine, wherein the component has a coating for increasing the erosion and corrosion resistance, wherein the coating is preferably applied directly to the component, wherein the coating consists of a functional layer and an intermediate layer, wherein the intermediate layer is arranged between the turbine blade substrate and the functional layer and wherein the functional layer consists of the elements Al, Cr, O and N.
