Abstract
Metallic composites with specifically defined properties may be produced by various techniques. Thus, for example, high temperature materials can be covered by MCrAIY coatings by means of low pressure plasma spraying. These coatings offer considerable advantages with regard to high temperature oxidation resistance and generally lead to a longer useful life of the coated components. A further possibility to improve the properties of such composites is a post-treatment by hot isostatic pressing (hipping). The hipping process increases the density of the coatings and has so far proved itself in improving the mechanical properties of components made of nickel and cobalt base superalloys.
