General
The blade(s) must have had all other repairs completed and be servicable. Refer to TASK 72-31-11-200-000 (INSPECTION/CHECK-000).
This Repair gives the procedure to glass/ceramic bead peen the LP compressor rotor blade(s) to restore the airfoil surface finish.
This Repair can only be carried out on a blade for a maximum of five times.
When a blade airfoil is repaired by glass/ceramic bead peening for the first time/1 is engraved adjacent to the scheme number, /2 for the second time, /3 for the third time, /4 for the fourth time and /5 for the final time.
The practices and processes referred to in the procedure by the TASK numbers are in the SPM.
Price and availability - Refer to IAE.

NONESafety Requirements
NONEProcedure
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-11-03-300-503. Use chemical cleaning equipment.
Chemically clean the blade(s).
SUBTASK 72-31-11-110-070 Clean the LP Compressor Rotor Blade(s)
Refer to: Figure
Use CoMat 02-003 ADHESIVE TAPE BLACK WATERPROOF or a locally made mask.
Apply adhesive tape to the LP compressor rotor blade root and areas that are not to be glass/ceramic bead peened.
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-38-04-300-503, SUBTASK 70-38-04-300-002.
Use CoMat 01-293 GLASS BEADS or CoMat 05-184 CERAMIC BEADS to get an Almen instensity of 0.015 to 0.020 in. (0.38 to 0.50 mm) on 'N' type test strip.
A coverage of 200 per cent must be applied.
Use controlled glass/ceramic bead peening equipment.
Make sure the glass/ceramic bead peening equipment can give the parameters.
SUBTASK 72-31-11-380-066 Restore the LP Compressor Rotor Blade(s) Airfoil Surface Finish

CAUTION
DO NOT ABRASIVE BLAST THE AIRFOIL SURFACE BEFORE YOU GLASS/CERAMIC BEAD PEEN.Refer to VRS1025, TASK 72-31-11-300-010 (REPAIR-010).
Vibro-polish the LP compressor rotor blade airfoil.
SUBTASK 72-31-11-380-067 Vibro-Polish the LP Compressor Rotor Blade Airfoil
NOTE
This procedure is not necessary if surface finish within the limit is achieved. Refer to TASK 72-31-11-200-000 (INSPECTION/CHECK-000).Refer to the SPM TASK 70-09-00-400-501, SUBTASK 70-09-00-400-001.
Use vibro-engraving equipment.
If this is the first repair to this scheme, then vibro-engrave /1 adjacent to the scheme number.
If this is the second repair to this scheme, then vibro-engrave /2 adjacent to the scheme number.
If this is the third repair to the scheme, then vibro-engrave /3 adjacent to the scheme number.
If this is the fourth repair to this scheme, then vibro-engrave /4 adjacent to the scheme number.
If this is the fifth repair to this scheme, then vibro-engrave /5 adjacent to the scheme number.
NOTE
The LP compressor rotor blade can only be glass/ceramic bead peened five times.
Write the repair number, VRS1724, adjacent to the assembly number.
SUBTASK 72-31-11-350-081 Identify the Repair

CAUTION
DO NOT VIBRO-ENGRAVE ON THE BLADE AIRFOIL OR LOCATION FACES.
