    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to protective coatings on an aerospace component and methods for depositing the protective coatings. In one or more embodiments, a method for depositing a coating on an aerospace component includes depositing one or more layers on a surface of the aerospace component using an atomic layer deposition or chemical vapor deposition process, and performing a partial oxidation and annealing process to convert the one or more layers to a coalesced layer having a preferred phase crystalline assembly. During oxidation cycles, an aluminum depleted region is formed at the surface of the aerospace component, and an aluminum oxide region is formed between the aluminum depleted region and the coalesced layer. The coalesced layer forms a protective coating, which decreases the rate of aluminum depletion from the aerospace component and the rate of new aluminum oxide scale formation.
