Refer to Figure.
NOTE
If CoMat 03-249 BRAZING FILLER MATERIAL,Ni-BASE is used, do not perform Step and Step. If CoMat 03-148 BRAZING FILLER POWDER is used, do not perform Step.Install the cross slide table onto the spot welding machine
Install the electrode holder onto the spot welding machine.
Make sure that the electrode insert with the mark "INNER" (part of the electrode swivel) is installed.
Install the electrode swivel onto the electrode holder
Install the electrode guide onto the cross slide table.
Install the spot welding fixture onto the electrode guide.
Make sure that the Stage 5 turbine vane is installed correctly against the stop plates (parts of the spot welding fixture).
Attach the Stage 5 turbine vane onto the spot welding fixture.
Align the 3A3124 SEAL SEGMENT - HONEYCOMB.
Put the honeycomb seal segment onto the Stage 5 turbine vane
Use a short time and low weld amperage to safety the 3A3124 SEAL SEGMENT - HONEYCOMB without damage.
Start to weld in the middle and continue to the outer sides.
Resistance weld the honeycomb seal segment
Apply white stop off around the edges of the Stage 5 turbine vane
Refer to SPM TASK 70-31-07-310-501.
Use Process 2.
Brazing time 30 minutes maximum.
Cool at a rate not less than 35 deg F (19 deg C) per minute to 1100 deg F (593 deg C).
Further cooling rate optional.
