The invention relates to a device and a method for
coating hard-to-reach surfaces of a gas
turbine (20), in particular of an aircraft engine. The device (1) comprises a
guide tube (2), which can be inserted through a
borescope opening (22), and a repeatedly plastically deformable support element (3) for guiding a
borescope head (7) positioned at one end (3') of the support element (3), wherein the
guide tube (2) is designed to deform the support element (3) when the support element (3) is guided through the
guide tube (2), such that the final shaping of the support element (3) when the latter is inserted into the gas
turbine (20) is defined by the guide tube (2) positioned on the gas
turbine (20), and wherein the support element (3) and the
borescope head (7) have a working channel (15) for the passage of a
slurry (30), the
discharge opening (13) of which is positioned on the borescope head (7) in such a way that the
slurry (30) discharged therefrom passes into the image region (8) of the borescope head (7). In the method, a
slurry is discharged, for example, by a device (1) according to the invention and applied to a surface before the slurry (30) is heated such that a
coating is formed.
