An article having a protective coating thereon includes a substrate having a substrate composition and a substrate surface, and a protective coating contacting and overlying at least a portion of the substrate surface. The substrate is preferably a Ti-Nb aluminide, an alpha 2-titanium aluiminide, or a gamma -titanium aluminide. The protective coating includes a metallic layer contacting the substrate surface and having a composition, in atomic percent, of from about 5 to about 40 percent chromium, from about 44 to about 59 percent aluminum, balance titanium plus incidental impurities. The protective coating may further include a ceramic layer contacting and overlying the metallic layer, with the metallic layer lying between the ceramic layer and the substrate.
