Composite refractory coatings and applications thereof

Abstract:

In one aspect, articles are described comprising wear resistant coatings employing one or more composite refractory layers. For example, a coated article described herein comprises a substrate and a coating deposited by CVD adhered to the substrate, the coating including a multiphase refractory layer comprising an alumina phase and a zirconia phase, wherein the zirconia phase has a texture coefficient for the (200) growth direction, TC(200), greater than 4.
