NONESafety Requirements
NONEProcedure
Use IAE 3M14513 Milling fixture 1 off and a milling machine. Remove the old coating and damage fully. Keep material removal to a minimum to allow for future repairs. Refer to Figure.
Machine dimension D1 to remove worn or damaged coating.
SUBTASK 72-50-22-322-056 Machine the Inner Front Flange
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-11-03-300-503.
Clean the vane.
SUBTASK 72-50-22-110-275 Clean the Vane
Make sure that the surfaces have full protection. Use CoMat 02-047 TAPE, HEAT REFLECTIVE or CoMat 02-050 HIGH TEMPERATURE GLASS CLOTH TAPE.
Refer to Figure.
Mask the areas A1, A2 and A3.
Use grit blast equipment. Use CoMat 05-046 ALUMINUM OXIDE GRIT. The surface texture must be 120 to 200 microinch (3.0 to 5.0 micrometer ra).
Refer to Figure and to the SPM TASK 70-34-03-340-501.
Grit blast the area A4.
SUBTASK 72-50-22-340-031 Prepare the Surfaces for the Plasma Spray Procedure
Use IAE 3M14513 Milling fixture 1 off.
Use control unit, horizontal and vertical transvers unit. Use turntable, turntable control assembly and transvers unit control assembly.
Use plasma spray equipment.
The coating thickness must be 0.004 to 0.013 in. (0.11 to 0.32 mm) and must agree with the required flange thickness. Refer to Figure.
Plasma spray the area A4.
SUBTASK 72-50-22-340-032 Plasma Spray the Prepared Surface
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-11-03-300-503.
Clean the vane.
SUBTASK 72-50-22-110-276 Clean the Vane
Use IAE 3M14516 Inspection fixture 1 off.
Refer to Figure.
Use dial caliper, micrometer and roughness micro-tester.
Dimensionally examine the coated area.
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-34-03-340-501-002 for acceptance standards.
Examine the coating.
