Abstract
A treatment composition is disclosed including a carrier and a sacrificial oxide-forming material suspended within the carrier. The sacrificial oxide-forming material is selected from the group consisting of tin oxide, magnesium oxide, antimony pentaoxide, and combinations thereof. A treatment process for a gas turbine component including an abradable ceramic coating is disclosed. The process includes contacting the abradable ceramic coating with the treatment composition. The sacrificial oxide-forming material is infused into the abradable ceramic coating to form sacrificial oxide-forming deposits within the abradable ceramic coating. A rejuvenation process is disclosed including contacting the hot gas path surface of a gas turbine component with a rinse composition comprising water and the treatment composition to form the sacrificial oxide-forming deposits within the abradable ceramic coating.
