Abstract
A method for producing a spallation-resistant aluminum oxide layer on the surface of a superalloy article is described. An aluminum oxide layer is produced, typically under tensile stress, by chemical vapor deposition at low temperatures on a metal aluminide layer that has been deposited on the surface of the article. The aluminum oxide layer is then heated to induce cracking therein, which imparts spallation-resistance thereto. If desired, a thermal barrier layer may be deposited on the aluminum oxide layer.
