Refer to SPM TASK 70-11-03-300-503.
Use clean gloves when you touch the clean parts.
Aqueous cleaning
SUBTASK 72-50-22-110-301 Clean the Stage 7 Turbine Vane and the New Honeycomb Seal Segment
NOTE
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 "OUTER" (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 7 turbine vane is installed correctly against the stop plates (parts of the spot welding fixture).
Attach the stage 7 turbine vane onto the spot welding fixture.
Align the honeycomb seal segment.
Put the honeycomb seal segment onto the stage 7 turbine vane.
Use a short time and low weld amperage to safety the honeycomb seal segment 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 7 turbine vane.
Refer to SPM TASK 70-31-07-310-501. Use process 2.
Brazing time is 30 minutes maximum.
Heating and cooling rates are optional.
