anti-corrosive agents generally function by preferentially soaking up the oxygen radicals so yeah, it would work that way too, it is more reactive than iron, the main vulnerable metal in a jet turbine
because the only way that could be practically done would take a LOTTTA tungsten and probably rhodium or something to not wear out and be extremely expensive to maintain the reaction is going on in gas phase also, the advantage of the dissolved alumina is it is dispersed enough in the gas phase to actually catch those oxidising radicals
