Coated components are produced to withstand high stresses and are composed of the intermetallic phase titanium aluminide material for use, in particular, in piston engines, gas turbines and exhaust gas turbochargers. This material has good technical properties but otherwise only a low resistance to oxidation and wear as a result of friction processes. These disadvantages are overcome in that the components are coated, at least on the parts of their surface which are at risk of hot corrosion and/or wear, with a sheet of a solderable nickel-based alloy soldered on under vacuum. A coating thickness of 0.1 to 0.4 mm is adequate. The nickel-based alloys, of which the soldered-on sheet is composed, preferably have a melting point of below 1180.degree. C.

A coated valve, in particular an inlet valve for internal combustion engines, is provided, which is provided with a deposit preventing layer containing cerium (IV) oxide. A process for coating a valve with the deposit preventing layer containing cerium (IV) oxide is also provided.

The use of an alloy composed of 15 to 19% by weight of Cr, 5 to 32.5% by weight of Mo, 0.3 to 10% by weight of Si, up to 10% by weight of Al and up to 4.5% by weight of Ti, the remainder being Ni, as a sliding material for seals on rotary regenerative heat exchangers with a ceramic core is described. The sliding material is suitable especially for use in temperature ranges up to about 1100.degree. C.
