Abstract: A method of reducing depletion of elements from an airfoil includes disposing a bond coating on the airfoil, where the airfoil comprises cooling channels. The airfoil includes a material that has an initial composition. A cooling hole is machined in the airfoil to contact the cooling channels such that a fluid travelling in the cooling channel may be discharged via the cooling hole. The machining of the cooling hole results in a formation of a depleted region around the cooling hole. The depleted region is depleted of a portion of the initial composition of the airfoil. A top coat is disposed on the bond coat. The airfoil is subjected to a heat treatment at a temperature effective to promote diffusion of elements from a non-depleted region to the depleted region around the cooling hole.
