METHODS FOR REMOVING BARRIER COATINGS, BONDCOAT AND OXIDE LAYERS FROM CERAMIC MATRIX COMPOSITES

摘要

The disclosure relates generally to methods for removing coatings and bond coats of ceramic matrix composites. More specifically, the disclosure relates to, for example, methods of removing a bond coat from a ceramic matrix composite by contacting a ceramic matrix composite with at least one hydroxide at particular temperatures and removing the bond coat from said ceramic matrix composite.
