Abstract
A method for removing products of hot corrosion and oxidation from selective portions of surfaces of a gas turbine engine, such as coatings and substrates, following exposure of the surfaces to hot oxidative gases of the turbine exhaust. The method involves a high temperature chemical reaction and has no detrimental effect on adjacent coatings and substrates that have not been attacked by the hot exhaust gases.
