This paper analyses the possibility of applying thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) onto a substrate made of the AlSi7Mg alloy, intended for, among other things, internal combustion engine components. Engine components made of aluminum-silicon alloys, especially pistons and valve heads, are exposed to high temperature, pressure and thermal shock resulting from the combustion of the fuel-air mixture. These factors cause degradation of these components and can lead to damage. To minimize the risk of damage to engine components caused by heat stress, one way is to apply TBCs. Applying TBCs coatings to engine components improves their durability, increases power output and reduces fuel consumption. The research scope includes the application of an Al2O3-TiO3 coating via the APS (Air Plasma Spraying or Atmospheric Plasma Spraying) method onto a substrate of the AlSi7Mg alloy, analysis of the microstructure and chemical composition of the substrate and coating material, and assessment of the quality of the coating's bond with the AlSi7Mg alloy substrate using the scratch test method.
