NONESafety Requirements
NONEProcedure
Use CoMat 05-075 WATERPROOF SILICON CARBIDE or similar.
Remove the aluminide coating locally.
SUBTASK 72-50-32-326-003 Remove the Coating Locally
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-11-03-300-503.
Aqueous cleaning
SUBTASK 72-50-32-110-066 Clean the Stage 3 Turbine Blade
Refer to Figure.
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-31-08-310-501.
Use IAE 3M14498 Welding fixture 1 off and IAE 3M14496 Welding mounting block 1 off.
Make sure that there is sufficient material to do last machining.
Decrease temperature of the turbine blade to reduce heat affected zone to a minimum.
In area A4 electrical contact is permitted.
No burning, pitting or selective attack is permitted.
Gas tungsten arc weld surfaces.
SUBTASK 72-50-32-310-051 Weld Build-Up Repair the Worn Surfaces
Rockwell 40 HRC minimum or equivalent is required. Use Rockwell hardness tester.
