General

This TASK gives the procedure for the inspection of the stage 2 HPT blade assembly. For the other stage 2 HPT blade assembly parts, refer to TASK 72-45-32-200-000 (INSPECTION/CHECK-000).

Fig/item numbers in parentheses in the procedure agree with those used in the IPC.

The policy that is necessary for inspection is given in the SPM TASK 70-20-00-200-501.

All the parts must be cleaned before any part is examined. Refer to the SPM TASK 70-10-00-100-501.

All parts must be visually examined for damage, corrosion and wear. Any defects that are not identified in the procedure must be referred to IAE.

The procedure for those parts which must have a crack test is given in SUBTASK 72-45-32-230-052. Do the test for cracks only if the visual examination of the blade is unsatisfactory.

Do not discard any part until you are sure there are no repairs available. Refer to the instructions in Repair before a discarded part is used again or oversize parts are installed.

Parts which should be discarded can be held although no repair is available. The repair of a discarded part could be shown to be necessary at a later date.

All parts must be examined to make sure that all the repairs have been completed satisfactorily.

The practices and processes referred to in the procedure by the TASK numbers are in the SPM.

Procedure

    1. SUBTASK 72-45-32-220-112 Do a Permeability Inspection of the Stage 2 HPT blade Assembly Internal Airfoil Surfaces

      CAUTION

      DO NOT CLEAN THE INTERNAL CAVITIES OF THE ENGINE RUN BLADES BEFORE YOU DO THIS INSPECTION.
    2. Refer to Figure, Figure and Figure.

      NOTE

      It is permitted to clean the external blade surfaces by the SPM TASK 70-11-03-300-503 or SPM TASK 70-12-09-120-501 before you do this inspection.
    3. This permeability inspection is to find sulfidation distress on the internal airfoil surfaces for the HPT blades. This procedure can only be used on blades that are not installed in the rotor and have not been cleaned.

      1. Information on the Permeability Probes.

        1. PN 1.069-01-3001 permeability probe is used for this inspection procedure.

          NOTE

          1. It is recommended that you read the Magnetoscop 1.069 description and operation instruction manual before you do this inspection.

          2. If you use the older permeability probes to do this inspection, PN 1.005-1522 permeability probe provides a 1X sensitivity or PN 1.005-1532 permeability probe has a 10X sensitivity designed for the Magnetoscop 1.067 and 1.068 models, it will be necessary to use a PN 9064001 probe adapter with the Magnetoscop 1.069 model.

        2. Only remove the probe protective cap from the probe to calibrate and take the inspection measurements.

          1. PN 1.067-101-12 reference standard is located in the cover of the Magnetoscop. Do not use any other reference standard.

          2. This inspection uses the comparison method to find the presence of the internal sulfidation and requires the use of the reference standard with a permeability (Mu) between 1.4 and 1.5.

          3. Do not use any other reference standard.

        3. Use a CoMat 06-110 PENCIL or CoMat 06-111 PENCIL to mark the HPT blades. Refer to the SPM TASK 70-09-01-400-501 for the procedure to temporary mark the parts.

        1. Magnetoscop Calibration Procedure.

        2. CAUTION

          DO NOT PERMIT THE PERMANENT MAGNET OF THE PROBE TO BECOME DEMAGNETIZED BY BEING EXPOSED TO MAGNETIC MATERIAL, PERMANENT MAGNETS OR STRONG ALTERNATING CURRENTS.

          CAUTION

          REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE CAP ON THE PROBE END ONLY DURING THE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE AND WHEN MEASUREMENTS ARE TO BE TAKEN DURING THE INSPECTION.

          NOTE

          The inspection area must be free from magnetic materials, permanent magnets and strong alternating current fields such as electric motors which will influence the meter needle deflection.

          Put the Magnetoscop on a suitable work bench with a non-magnetic work surface and remove the top cover.

        3. Connect the permeability probe to the Magnetoscop field intensity meter.

          NOTE

          The Magnetoscop will find what type of probe is being used. If one of the old Magnetoscop 1.067 or 1.068 probes is used, a 1.069 probe adapter PN 9064001 will be needed to connect the probe to the unit. A menu on the magnetoscop will give a list of probes. You can then select the applicable probe to use. If you use the new probe designed for the Magnetoscop 1.069 model, the probe will be detected automatically.
        4. Apply power to the Magnetoscop and permit the meter to warm up for ten minutes.

        5. Press the DC/AC/PERM (MODE) button until the instrument displays that it is in the Permeability Comparison mode.

        6. Press the RANGE button and set the range so that the Magnetoscop will display readings between 1.000 to 2.000 Mu.

        7. Press the MENU button and select Calibration from the main menu.

          NOTE

          The Magnetoscop will then adjust the offset of the system automatically. This can take up to one minute to complete. The calibration menu will permit you to make another selection once the offset has been completed.
        8. Select OFFSET ADJUST from the calibration menu.

          1. Select PERM PROBE ZERO ADJUST from the calibration menu.

          2. Adjust the thumb wheel adjustment or screw adjustment on the probe until the display is as close to zero as you can get.

          3. Exit the menu when completed.

          1. Select PERMEABILITY CALIBRATION from the calibration menu.

          2. Input the calibration value from the reference standard into the Magnetoscop display. Do not press the ENTER key.

        9. Put the PN 1.067-101-12 reference standard in an area away from any permeable materials or magnetic fields.

        10. Place the probe element on the center of the probe body perpendicular to the contact surface of the standard.

        11. Press the ENTER key on the Magnetoscop.

        12. The Magnetoscop will then calibrate to the value input from the reference standard.

        13. When completed, the display will return to the calibration menu.

        14. Exit from the calibration menu and the calibration is completed.

          1. When the Magnetoscop is removed from the standard, hold the Magnetoscop in the air.

          2. The reading on the Magnetoscop must be 1.000 +/- 0.005 Mu.

          3. If you do not get this reading, do the calibration procedure again.

        15. The permeability probe calibration must be checked at the start and end of each inspection sequence or if the inspection sequence has been interrupted.

        1. Permeability Inspection Procedure.

        2. CAUTION

          PERMEABILITY LIMITS WERE ESTABLISHED FOR SERVICE RUN BLADE CONDITIONS BEFORE TASK 72-45-32-100-003, CLEANING-003 IS COMPLETED ON THE BLADES. DO NOT CLEAN THE BLADE AND THE BLADE INTERNAL CAVITIES BEFORE YOU DO THIS INSPECTION. CLEANING CAN REMOVE THE SULFIDATION PRODUCT AND REDUCE THE PERMEABILITY VALUE. THIS WILL CHANGE THE CALIBRATED REALTIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PERMEABILITY AND REMAINING BLADE WALL THICKNESS. THIS WILL RESULT IN BLADES WITH WALL THICKNESS THAT ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE TO CONTINUE-IN-SERVICE.

        3. Remove loose dirt and deposits from only the external surface of the blade which could cause the meter needle to deflect. Use a soft bristle brush.

        4. Keep the probe perpendicular to the airfoil surface. Traverse the permeability probe tip along the external surface to be examined and monitor the readings for permeability indications.

        5. At a constant speed of 0.250 to 0.500 in. (6.4 to 12.7 mm) per second, traverse the probe along each of the airfoil surfaces.

        6. If you find permeability indications, locate the area which has the maximum permeability.

          1. Record the maximum permeability at the corresponding location on the airfoil surface. Use only CoMat 06-110 PENCIL or CoMat 06-111 PENCIL to mark the blade airfoil.

            1. Blades with a permeability value of 1.04 or less.

            2. Accept

      1. Examine the blades that you suspect have incorrect marking.

        1. A blade set is suspect if:

        2. The set has any blades with negative stretch readings in excess of minus 0.005 in. (minus 0.127 mm) (minus 0.006 in. (minus 0.154 mm)), (minus 0.010 in. (minus 0.254 mm)) etc.

        3. There are blades which were rejected by the blade stretch measurement technique in TASK 72-45-32-200-001-A00.

        1. In a suspect set of blades, individual suspect blades are defined as:

        2. All blades in the set that have any negative stretch.

        3. All blades in the set that have positive stretch that is more than 0.010 in. (0.254 mm).

        4. All blades in the set that have more than three times the average stretch of the non-suspect blades in the set.

    3. Do the procedure in Step below if you think a blade has incorrect markings.

    1. SUBTASK 72-45-32-220-091 Examine the Stage 2 HPT Blade Assembly (01-010) Blade Length

      NOTE

      This procedure applies only to first time repair blades.
    2. Refer to Figure.

      1. Find the measured length of the blade by the procedure given in this TASK.

      2. Make a note of airfoil thinning.

        1. Make a record of three-decimal place results as follows:

        2. 3.657 in. would be read 657.

      3. Subtract the initial marked length from the last two digits of the measured length values you found in the step above to calculate the growth of individual blades.

      4. Measure the complete set of blades as directed in the three steps given above.

        1. Find which blades in the set are suspect.

        2. Do a statistical analysis on this initial set of growth readings to find which measurements will be considered suspect and those that are not suspect.

        3. Suspect blade measurements must not be evaluated again to reduce the quantity of suspect parts in the set.

      1. Find the quantity of suspect readings.

        1. If fewer than 75 per cent of the blades in the set are suspect, do the steps that follow:

        2. Calculate the average stretch for the non-suspect blades.

        3. Define a lot of standard, non-suspect blades (a minimum of 15 parts). Measure the dimension from the top edge of the second trailing edge slot in from the tip to the bottom edge of the second trailing edge slot in from the platform as shown in Figure, for the lot.

        4. Find the average of the values you measured in the step above, subtract the average stretch of the non-suspect blades. This is the trailing edge base dimension.

          Example: A non-suspect blade lot trailing edges average 2.155 in. Average growth of the non-suspect blades is 0.003 in. The trailing edge base dimension is set at 2.152 in.

        5. For each suspect blade, measure the dimension from the top edge of the second trailing edge slot in from the tip to the bottom edge of the second trailing edge slot in from the platform, as shown in Figure.

        6. Subtract the trailing edge base dimension from the trailing edge dimension of each suspect blade to calculate the growth of each suspect blade.

          Example: A non-suspect blade lot has an average growth of 0.003 in. (0.076 mm). The trailing edge base dimension is 2.152 in. The suspect blade trailing edge measures 2.154 in., so the calculated growth of the suspect blade is 0.002 in. (0.051 mm) (0.001 in. (0.025 mm)) less than the average established by the non-suspect blades in the set.

          If the calculated growth is 0.010 in. (0.254 mm) or less, do steps (3) and (4) below. Negative calculated growth must be considered zero growth.

          If the calculated growth is more than 0.010 in. (0.254 mm), scrap the part.

        1. If 75 per cent or more of the blades in the set are suspect, or if the set is very small (less than a total of 10 blades), do the steps that follow:

        2. For each suspect blade, measure the dimension from the top edge of the second trailing edge slot in from the tip of the bottom edge of the second trailing edge slot in from the platform, as shown in Figure.

        3. Subtract the standard trailing edge base dimension of 2.149 in. from the trailing edge dimension of each suspect blade to calculate the growth of each suspect blade.

          Example: A second stage HPT blade has a base trailing edge dimension that is 2.149 in. The suspect blade trailing edge measures 2.152 in., so the calculated growth of the suspect blade is 0.003 in. (0.076 mm).

        4. Use a locally fabricated tool based on a sample part to confirm the standard trailing edge base dimension during inspection.

        5. If the calculated growth is 0.010 in. (0.254 mm) or less, do steps (3) and (4) below. Negative calculated growth must be considered zero growth.

        6. If the calculated growth is more than 0.010 in. (0.254 mm), scrap the part.

      2. Subtract the calculated growth from the measured length to find the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) length of a suspect blade.

        Example: A blade measures 3.459 in., but the OEM length is marked 436 (3.436 in.). The calculated growth of the blade is determined to be 0.002 in. (0.051 mm). The initial blade marking should be 457.

      3. Make a mark on the suspect blades only, of the calculated length from the step above. Mark the last three digits of the measurements, rounded to the nearest 0.001 in. For example, if the length were 3.657 in., mark 657. Cross out the initial marked length. Use the vibro-peen or dot-peen method. Refer to the SPM TASK 70-09-00-400-501. Make a mark in the same area as the initial mark.

      4. Scrap all blades with true growth that is more than 0.010 in. (0.254 mm).
