    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, an aerospace component containing a protective coating is provided and contains a superalloy substrate and a bond coating disposed on the superalloy substrate. The protective coating also contains a thermal barrier coating containing yttria-stabilized zirconia disposed on the bond coating, an oxide coating disposed on the thermal barrier coating, and an optional capping layer disposed on the oxide coating. The oxide coating contains a film stack containing two or more pairs of a first film and a second film, where the first film contains a first metal oxide and the second film contains a second metal oxide, and the first metal oxide has a different composition than the second metal oxide. The capping layer contains aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, or any combination thereof.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to methods for cleaning aerospace components having oxidation, corrosion, contaminants, and/or other degradations. In one or more embodiments, a cleaning method includes positioning the aerospace component into a processing region of a processing chamber, introducing hydrogen gas into the processing region, maintaining the processing region at a pressure of about 100 mTorr to about 5,000 mTorr, and heating the aerospace component at a temperature of about 500°C to about 1,200°C for about 0.5 hours to about 24 hours to produce a cleaned surface on the aerospace component. In other embodiments, a cleaning method includes exposing the aerospace component to ozone while maintaining the aerospace component at a temperature of about 15°C to about 500°C for 0.25 hours to about 24 hours to produce a cleaned surface on the aerospace component.

    Abstract: A substrate carrier for an epitaxy chamber is described that has an elongated base member supporting two substrate supports in an angled relationship and a center substrate support between the two substrate supports. The center substrate support has one or more openings at which a substrate is positioned for processing, enabling both sides of the substrate to be processed concurrently.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to a batch processing chamber. The batch processing chamber includes a lid, a chamber wall and a bottom that define a processing region. A cassette including a stack of susceptors for supporting substrates is disposed in the processing region. The edge of the cassette is coupled to a plurality of shafts and the shafts are coupled to a rotor. During operation, the rotor rotates the cassette to improve deposition uniformity. A heating element is disposed on the chamber wall and a plurality of gas inlets is disposed through the heating element on the chamber wall. Each gas inlet is substantially perpendicular to the chamber wall.

    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.
