Abstract

See full text

Implementations described herein generally relate to materials and coatings, and more specifically to materials and coatings for aluminum and aluminum-containing chamber components. In one implementation, a process is provided. The process comprises exposing an aluminum-containing component to a moisture thermal treatment process and exposing the aluminum-containing component to a thermal treatment process. The moisture thermal treatment process comprises exposing the aluminum-containing component to an environment having a moisture content from about 30% to about 100% at a first temperature from about 30 to about 100 degrees Celsius. The thermal treatment process comprises heating the aluminum-containing component to a second temperature from about 200 degrees Celsius to about 550 degrees Celsius to form an alumina layer on the at least one surface of the aluminum-containing component.
