A method of treating a superalloy article, including selecting an article having a superalloy composition, whereby the article has a treatable feature on its surface. The method further includes removing a base alloy from a region abutting a first portion of the treatable feature. The method further includes treating a second portion of the treatable feature with a treatment composition to remove surface oxides. The method further includes inserting a treatment material into the first portion of the treatable feature followed by depositing the base alloy in the first portion of the treatable feature. The method further includes heat treating the article at a temperature above the melting point of the treatment material whereby the treatment material flows into the second portion of the treatable feature forming a treated article.
