NOTE
The adjacent components that can prevent the access during the repair or the components that can be damaged during the repair must be removed using related disassembly TASKs.When you estimate whether the vane is applicable for repair, make sure that the total material to be removed from the stage (cumulative blend limit) is not more than the limits. This includes all the blends that are done before.While doing this repair on a compressor stage, make sure that all damaged vanes in the compressor stage are blended. This includes damage that has been accepted as given in the related inspection TASK.Only one blend on the leading or trailing edge is permitted for each vane. This includes all the blends.If the area to be blended is near to the vane tip, make sure that the blend will not produce hook feature.
SUBTASK 72-00-41-220-057 Examine the Assembly

WARNING
WHEN USING DANGEROUS MATERIALS, MAKE SURE THAT THE SPM MANUAL AND MANUFACTURER'S MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE FOLLOWED.
CAUTION
MAKE SURE THAT THE ETCH SOLUTION DOES NOT TOUCH THE AREAS OTHER THAN THE INTENDED REPAIR AREA. MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE ETCH SOLUTION IS REMOVED AFTER OPERATION.
CAUTION
IF ETCHING SOLUTION DOES TOUCH THE UNINTENDED AREAS, MAKE SURE THE ETCHING SOLUTION IS FULLY REMOVED, DISASSEMBLE THE ASSEMBLY IF NECESSARY.For VIGV (titanium alloy part), refer to SPM TASK 70-11-08-300-503.
For stage 3 to 6 vanes (corrosion resistant steel or nickel alloy), refer to SPM TASK 70-11-39-300-503 SUBTASK 70-11-39-300-001.
Use Chemical Cleaning Equipment 1 off.
Swab etch the repaired area.
SUBTASK 72-00-41-110-008 Do a Swab Etch
Refer to SPM TASK 70-23-05-230-501.
Use Penetrant Crack Test Equipment 1 off.
Cracks are not permitted.
Do a local penetrant crack test.
SUBTASK 72-00-41-230-004 Do a Crack Test

CAUTION
USE GLOVES AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT OR MASKING DURING REPAIR. SHARP EDGES OF BLADES AND VANES CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
CAUTION
TITANIUM COMPONENT - YOU MUST USE SILICON CARBIDE TYPE ABRASIVE WHEELS, STONES AND PAPERS TO DRESS BLEND AND POLISH THIS COMPONENT.
CAUTION
TITANIUM COMPONENT - PREVENT BUILD UP OF HEAT BY CAREFULLY APPLYING THE PRESSURE AND KEEPING THE TOOL SPEED AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.
CAUTION
TITANIUM COMPONENT - MAXIMUM SPEED FOR MECHANICAL TOOLS MUST NOT BE MORE THAN 1000 REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE.
CAUTION
TITANIUM COMPONENT - YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU DRESS MATERIAL, BLEND AND POLISH, TO MAKE SMOOTH, NO SPARKS ARE PRODUCED.
CAUTION
TITANIUM COMPONENT - IF THE MATERIAL SHOWS A CHANGE IN COLOR, TO DARKER THAN A LIGHT STRAW COLOR, THE COMPONENT IS TO BE REJECTED.
CAUTION
MAKE SURE THAT REPAIR AREA IS NOT NEAR THE EXCLUSION ZONE (ZONE B).
CAUTION
THE USE OF TOO MUCH FORCE WHILE REMOVING THE MATERIAL IS NOT ALLOWED. APPLY THE PRESSURE CAREFULLY AND SUFFICIENT SUPPORT OF THE VANE AEROFOIL MUST BE USED TO PREVENT THE VANE ROOT BEING SUBJECTED TO ADDITIONAL STRESSES.NOTE
While doing this repair on a compressor stage, make sure that all damaged vanes in the compressor stage are blended. This includes damage that has been accepted as applicable in the related inspection TASK.Only one blend on the leading or trailing edge is permitted for each vane. This includes all the blends.If the area to be blended is near to the vane tip, make sure that the blend will not produce hook feature.Remove damage on the leading or trailing edges by material removal.
Make sure all the damage marks are completely removed and the area is made smooth into the adjacent material.
Use CoMat 05-082 WATERPROOF SILICON CARBIDE and/or CoMat 05-079 WATERPROOF SILICON CARBIDE, as necessary.
Make smooth the repair area.

While doing this repair on a compressor stage, make sure that all damaged vanes in the compressor stage are blended. This includes damage that has been accepted, refer to the related inspection TASK.
When you estimate whether the vane is permitted after repair, make sure that the total material removed from the stage (cumulative blend limit) is not more than the limit given. This includes all the blends that were done before.
Make sure the damage is removed completely and there is no undressed damage on vanes in the stage.
Make sure all debris are removed.
Use Workshop inspection equipment 1 off.
NOTE
Visually examine the repair area.
Make sure the blended area is in the individual and cumulative repair limits. If not, reject the vane.
Use Workshop inspection equipment 1 off.
Dimensionally examine the repair area.
