Abstract
Superalloy targets were produced from Ni-(Al-C-Co-Cr-Mo-Ta-Ti-W) powders by spark plasma sintering technology. The crystalline structure of the as-produced targets was investigated by XRD analysis and compared with the evolution of phases resulting from the operation of the cathodic arc at the target (cathode) surface. Coatings were synthesized at superalloy substrates utilizing these superalloy targets in non-reactive and reactive evaporation processes. Synthesized coatings and target surfaces were compared with respect to chemical composition and crystal structure. The interface between coating and superalloy substrates was investigated by TEM. As an example, a complete layer stack was synthesized by cathodic arc evaporation starting from the superalloy substrate - superalloy coating interface to a fully oxidized superalloy coating showing epitaxial growth in the interface to the superalloy substrate.
