Nanostructured coatings are extensively employed in aerospace applications as they unveil unique and excellent properties because of their nano-sized structural behavior. This article focusses on the study of preparation of yttrium (III) nitrate hexahydrate-based nano-sized structural coating obtained by sol-gel method and the analysis of their properties. The properties that are suitable for aerospace applications such as thermal stability, oxidation resistance ability, heat resistant nature, phase stability were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX) characterization techniques.
