Abstract
A gas turbine blade to be protected by an aluminide coating is placed within a masking enclosure including an airfoil enclosure that prevents deposition on the airfoil of the gas turbine blade, and a dovetail enclosure that prevents deposition on the dovetail of the gas turbine blade. The assembly is vapor phase aluminided such that aluminum is deposited on an exposed portion of the gas turbine blade that is not within the masking enclosure.
