Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system, in particular a turbocharger with a barrier layer for protecting against high temperature corrosion of parts and/or components of the system or turbocharger that are subjected to high temperatures, where the barrier layer includes at least one Cr—Al—O layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A PVD-coated part or a PVD-coated component of a turbocharger, comprising: a PVD-coated substrate having an oxidation- and chemical barrier layer that includes at least one Al—Cr—O layer, which at least partially has a corundum structure and shows at least reflections of a crystal structure of an AlCr intermetallic phase in an X-ray diffraction diagram, and wherein the substrate is a part or component of a turbocharger that is subjected to temperatures greater than 400° C., but not greater than 800° C., during operation of the turbocharger, and wherein a crystallite size of an oxide in the Al—Cr—O layer is so small that oxide crystallites can no longer be detected with XRD and as a result, no oxide phase can be detected in the X-ray diffraction diagram. 2. The PVD-coated part or the PVD-coated component of a turbocharger according to claim 1 , wherein the barrier layer includes a chromium nitride layer, which is situated between the substrate and the Al—Cr—O layer. 3. The PVD-coated part or the PVD-coated component of a turbocharger according to claim 1 , wherein the chemical composition of the Al—Cr—O layer produces a composition of (Al,Cr) 2 O 3-y where y≤0.3. 4. The PVD-coated part or the PVD-coated component of a turbocharger according to claim 1 , wherein the X-ray diffraction diagram shows the reflections of an (Al,Cr) 2 O 3 layer in a corundum structure. 5. The PVD-coated part or the PVD-coated component of a turbocharger according to claim 1 , wherein the X-ray diffraction diagram shows the reflections of a crystal structure of an AlCr intermetallic phase.
