A gas turbine component (100) includes a substrate (102) formed of a high temperature resistant material and a corrosion resistant layer (106). The corrosion resistant layer (106) is inert to molten salt contaminants and contains a refractory metal vanadate of the formula M x V y O z wherein M is selected from the group consisting of alkaline earth metals, Group IV and V transition metals, rare earth metals and their combinations, and wherein z = x + 2.5y or z = 1.5x + 2.5y or z = 2x + 2.5y. |
