Claims
- 1. A method of producing on the surfaces of a component a protective layer having a composition according to the formula Ti5,O−xAgx−yAl3,0−yO2 with 0.5<x+y<1.0, said method comprising the steps of:
providing a mixture of Ti and TiO2 powder and sintering the mixture in a vacuum so as to form a sintered powder from the mixture, mixing the sintered powder with Al and Ag and applying the mixture of the sintered powder and Al and Ag in a composition according to said formula to the surface of said component, and heating the mixture on said component to a temperature of 500 to 900° C.
- 2. A method according to claim 1, wherein, after sintering the mixture of Ti and TiO2 powder, the mixture is again pulverized before it is applied to the surfaces of said component.
- 3. A method of producing on the surfaces of a component, which consists of one of a titanium alloy and an intermetallic phase on the basis of titanium and has an Al content of 40-60at %, a protective layer having a composition according to the formula Ti5,0−xAgx+yAl3, 0−yO2 with 0.5<x+y<1.0, said method comprising the steps of applying a silver coating to the surface of said component and heating the component with said silver coating in vacuum or a protective gas atmosphere to temperatures above 700° C. to form said protective layer on said component.
- 4. A method according to claim 3, wherein said silver coating has a thickness of 2 to 200 μm.
- 5. A method according to claim 3, wherein said component with the silver coating disposed thereon is heat treated for a period of 1 to 24 hours.
