Safety Requirements
NONEProcedure
Use vertical turning lathe and the IAE 3M14203 Grinding/turningfixture 1 off.
Remove the damaged honeycomb seal segment fully.
Keep material removal to the minimum to allow subsequent repairs.
To get this it is permitted to let stay a braze thickness of 0.005in. (0.13 mm).
Machine off the worn honeycomb seal segment.
SUBTASK 72-50-22-325-065 Machine the Damaged Honeycomb Seal Segment
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-11-03-300-503.
Clean the vane.
SUBTASK 72-50-22-110-143 Clean the Stage 5 Turbine Vane
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-12-08-300-503.
Wet abrasive blast the machined area.
SUBTASK 72-50-22-120-058 Wet Abrasive Blast the Stage 5 Turbine Vane
Use IAE 3M14220 Cross slide table 1 off and a spot welding machine.
Install the cross slide table on to the spot welding machine.
Use IAE 3M14222 Electrode holder 1 off.
Install the electrode holder on to the spot welding machine.
Use the IAE 3M14223 Universal joint electrode 1 off.
Make sure that the electrode insert with the mark INNER (part of the universal joint electrode) is installed.
Install the universal joint electrode on to the electrode holder.
Use the IAE 3M14221 Electrode guide 1 off.
Install the electrode guide on to the cross slide table.
Use the IAE 3M14206 Spot welding fixture 1 off.
Install the spot welding fixture on to the electrode guide.
Align the honeycomb seal segment, refer to Figure.
Position the honeycomb seal segment on to the stage 5 turbine vane.
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-31-07-310-501 and process 2.
Brazing time 30 minutes maximum.
Cool rate at a rate not less then 35 deg F (19 deg C) per minute to 1100 deg F (593 deg C).
Further cooling rate optional.
Braze.
SUBTASK 72-50-22-310-077 Braze in the New Honeycomb Seal Segment
NOTE
If CoMat 03-249 BRAZING FILLER MATERIAL,Ni-BASE is used perform steps G. to I. If CoMat 03-148 BRAZING FILLER POWDER is used perform steps L to M.Refer to the SPM TASK 70-11-03-300-503.
Clean the vane.
SUBTASK 72-50-22-110-145 Clean the Stage 5 Turbine Vane
Use 200:1 mixture of water and CoMat 02-142 WETTING AGENT.
or.
1:1 mixture of CoMat 10-061 STODDARD SOLVENT and CoMat 02-143 DELETED.
or.
2500:1 mixture of water and CoMat 01-183 WETTING AGENT FOR ACIDCLEANER.
or.
1:1 mixture of CoMat 01-001 SOLVENT, DELETED and CoMat 10-061 STODDARD SOLVENT.
Prepare the fluid tank.
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-31-07-310-501 and except for the following:
No unbrazed honeycomb cells around the edges of the honeycomb seal segment are permitted.
The minimum space between the unbonded areas of more than 0.063 sqin. (40.65 sqmm) should be 1.00in. (24.4 mm).
Use illuminated comparator magnifier.
No braze filled cells permitted.
The honeycomb wall thickness must not be increased by more than 0.001in. (0.03 mm) in area above the braze fillet.
Acceptance limits.
SUBTASK 72-50-22-210-058 Examine the Brazed Honeycomb Seal
Grind to the dimensions.
Refer to Figure.
Use the IAE 3M14203 Grinding/turningfixture 1 off and grinding machine.
Finish machine the honeycomb seal segment.
