Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to protective coatings on aerospace components and methods for depositing the protective coatings. In one or more embodiments, a method for producing a protective coating on an aerospace component includes depositing a metal oxide template layer on the aerospace component containing nickel and aluminum (e.g., nickel-aluminum superalloy) and heating the aerospace component containing the metal oxide template layer during a thermal process and/or an oxidation process. The thermal process and/or oxidation process includes diffusing aluminum contained within the aerospace component towards a surface of the aerospace component containing the metal oxide template layer, oxidizing the diffused aluminum to produce an aluminum oxide layer disposed between the aerospace component and the metal oxide template layer, and removing at least a portion of the metal oxide template layer while leaving the aluminum oxide layer.
