A maskant (30) for use in an electrochemical stripping operation is provided. The maskant (30) comprises an electrically conductive member, preferably one formed from a titanium based material, placed about a trailing edge (22) of an airfoil portion (4) of a turbine engine component. A method for removing a coating from a turbine engine component is also provided. The method comprises the steps of placing a maskant (30) formed from an electrically conductive material, preferably a titanium based material, adjacent a trailing edge (22) of an airfoil portion (4) of the component, immersing the turbine engine component and the maskant into a bath, and electrochemically stripping the coating from unmasked portions of the turbine engine component. |
