2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the interface coating further comprises at least one of Ti, Ni—Co—Fe, or Ni—Mo—Cr.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the interface coating has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of about 4×10 −6 to about 6×10 −6 /° F.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a bond layer between a surface of the CMC component and the interface coating.

5 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the bond layer comprises Si.

6 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the bond layer consists of Si.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a corrosion-resistant coating on the interface coating, wherein the corrosion-resistant coating comprises an alloy comprising at least one of Ti, Al, or V, an alloy comprising at least one of Ti, Al, Sn, Zr, or Mo, or an alloy comprising Ni and Cr.

8 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the corrosion-resistant coating comprises at least one of Ti—Al—V, Ti—Al—Sn—Zr—Mo, Ni—Cr, or Ni—Mo—Cr.

9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a compliance-enhancing coating on the interface coating, wherein the compliance-enhancing coating comprises at least one of Pt, Ag, Cu, Ni, Cr, Co, or Mo.

10 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the compliance-enhancing coating comprises at least one of a Cu alloy, an Ag alloy, or Co—Cr—Mo.

11 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising an outer coating on the interface coating, wherein the outer coating is selected from at least one of an environmental barrier coating or a thermal barrier coating.

12 . A ceramic matrix composite (CMC) component with an interface coating system thereon, the interface coating system comprising;
a bond coating on a surface of the CMC component, wherein the bond coating comprises Si; an interface coating on the bond coating, wherein the interface coating comprises a layer of: 60-80 wt % V, 20-30 wt % Cr, and 2-15 wt % Ti; a corrosion-resistant coating on the interface coating, wherein the corrosion resistant coating comprises an alloy comprising at least one of Ti, Al, or V, an alloy comprising at least one of Ti, Al, Sn, Zr, or Mo, or an alloy comprising Ni and Cr; and a compliance-enhancing coating on the corrosion-resistant coating, wherein the compliance-enhancing coating comprises at least one of Pt, Ag, Cu, Ni, Cr, Co, or Mo.

13 . The component of claim 12 , further comprising at least one outer coating on the compliance-enhancing coating.

14 . The component of claim 12 , wherein the bond coating consists of Si.

15 . A method, comprising:
forming an interface coating on a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) component such that the interface coating is bonded to the ceramic component, wherein the interface coating comprises layer of: 60-80 wt % V, 20-30 wt % Cr, and 2-15 wt % Ti.

16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising forming a bond coating on the CMC part prior to forming the interface coating, wherein the bond coating comprises Si.

17 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising heat treating the bond coating and the interface coating to about 1100° C. to about 1325° C.

18 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising forming a corrosion-resistant coating on the interface coating, wherein the corrosion resistant coating comprises an alloy comprising at least one of Ti, Al, or V, an alloy comprising at least one of Ti, Al, Sn, Zr, or Mo, or an alloy comprising Ni and Cr.

19 . The method of claim 18 , further comprising heating the interface coating and the corrosion-resistant coating to a temperature of about 1100° C.

20 . The method of claim 18 , further comprising forming a compliance-enhancing coating on the corrosion-resistant coating, wherein the compliance-enhancing coating comprises at least one of Pt, Ag, Cu, Ni, Cr, Co, or Mo.

21 . The method of claim 20 , further comprising forming at least one outer coating on the compliance-enhancing coating.

22 . A turbine engine component comprising a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) component, wherein the CMC component is loaded against a metal part, and wherein the CMC component comprises the interface coating of claim 1 adjacent to the metal part.
