SUBTASK 72-50-00-350-053 General Instructions for the Blend Repair of the Stage 6 Turbine Inner Air Seal (01-240)
Keep material removal to the minimum to remove damage.
For local blending the length to depth ratio must be a minimum of 15:1 unless otherwise specified, refer to Figure.
Unless stated differently there is no limit for the number of blends. If there is a number of damage marks close together blend the whole area to the specified depth.
For direction of blend repair, where specified, refer to Figure.
For blend repair of the two knife edge seals refer to the VRS4018 TASK 72-50-00-300-003 (REPAIR-003).
Refer to Figure
Maximum permitted depth of blend repair is 0.005in. (0.13 mm), maximum permitted length of blends for scratches and scores is 0.500in. (12.70 mm).
Minimum distance between blends 0.500in. (12.70 mm).
For damage outside the spacing limits maximum depth of blend repair is 0.003in. (0.08 mm), maximum blend area is 0.25sq in. (160.00 sq mm).
Blend repair in area A1.
Maximum permitted depth of local blends is 0.004in. (0.10 mm) except as follows in area A5.1 and A5.2 Figure.
Blend repair in area A5.
Maximum permitted depth of blend repair is 0.010in. (0.25 mm).
Length to depth blend ratio is 5:1 minimum.
Minimum distance between blends is 0.500in. (12.70 mm), Figure.
