1. A method for coating a substrate, comprising:
preparing a substrate for coating;
coating the substrate with a diboride doped with 1%-5% by weight aluminum to produce a diboride-aluminum coating, wherein the step of coating consists of applying the diboride using a first applicator of a magnetron sputter coating system and simultaneously doping the diboride with 1%-5% by weight aluminum by applying aluminum using a second applicator consisting of aluminum of the magnetron sputter coating system producing the diboride-aluminum coating consisting of the diboride and the aluminum upon the substrate.
