Abstract

A stripping process for the removal of plasma spray applied chromium carbide-nickel chromium coatings from nickel base alloy substrates is disclosed. The coating is decomposed electrolytically by immersing the coated substrate in an alkaline metal hydroxide solution to form the anode of an electrolytic cell and imposing a potential difference across the cells sufficient to decompose the coating without affecting the substrate.
