Abstract
An article of manufacture comprising protectively coated titanium, titanium alloy or titanium aluminide, and a method for making it, wherein the protective coating is an adherent crystalline alkaline earth silicate glass-ceramic coating having a composition consisting essentially, in weight percent on the oxide basis, of about 20-75% total of oxides selected in amounts not exceeding the indicated proportions from the group consisting of up to about 50% BaO, 55% SrO, and 35% CaO, 25-60% of SiO.sub.2 and, as optional constituents, 0-25% MnO, 0-20% MgO, and 0-30% total of other compatible bivalent and trivalent metal oxides. The coating is applied as a continuous glassy coating and is converted to a crystalline glass-ceramic coating by heat treatment.
