NONESafety Requirements
NONEProcedure
Use CoMat 05-075 WATERPROOF SILICON CARBIDE or similar.
Remove the aluminide coating, locally.
SUBTASK 72-50-32-326-002 Remove the Coating Locally
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-11-03-300-503.
Aqueous cleaning
SUBTASK 72-50-32-110-120 Clean the Stage 4 Turbine Blade
Refer to Figure.
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-31-08-310-501.
Use IAE 3M14498 Welding fixture 1 off and IAE 3M14398 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 72-50-32-310-070 Weld Build-Up Repair the Worn Surfaces
Welded areas must be equal to the original contours and must be flush with the adjacent surfaces. Remove burrs and sharp edges.
Use Hand held grinder.

CAUTION
DO NOT OVERHEAT THE AREAS TO BE DRESSED.Dress the welds.
SUBTASK 72-50-32-320-085 Machine the Welded Areas
Use IAE 2M14189 Inspection gage 1 off.
Examine the machined areas dimensionally.
SUBTASK 72-50-32-220-311 Examine the Machined Outer Shroud Hardfacing
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-37-10-370-501, Stress-Relief Cycle 5.
Stress-relieve the turbine blade.
SUBTASK 72-50-32-370-084 Heat Treatment after Machining
NOTE
Do the stress-relief after all weld and coating operations.This SUBTASK is optional if aluminide coating will be completely removed and re-applied per VRS4296, TASK 72-50-32-300-043 (REPAIR-043) after weld repair.Refer to the SPM TASK 70-23-08-230-501.
The maximum permitted length of discontinuities is 0.016 in. (0.4 mm) in the repaired areas.
Do the test for cracks.
SUBTASK 72-50-32-230-136-001 Examine the Machined Areas for Cracks
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-11-03-300-503.
Aqueous cleaning
SUBTASK 72-50-32-110-121 Clean the Stage 4 Turbine Blade
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-38-13-380-501.
Use CoMat 05-029 CAST STEEL SHOT, S110 or CoMat 05-030 CAST STEEL SHOT DELETED or CoMat 05-031 CAST STEEL SHOT DELETED or CoMat 05-138 SHOT, CAST STEEL, S110 or CoMat 05-177 CUT WIRE SHOT,CW-14 to an intensity of 6A.
Shotpeen blade root flanks plus corner radii to end faces.
Shotpeening is permitted in area A2.
Shotpeen area A1.
SUBTASK 72-50-32-380-081 Shotpeen the Surface A1 of the Stage 4 Turbine Blade
If you cannot read any of these, make new marks.
Use the roll stamp method.
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-09-00-400-501.
Examine the markings of part number and serial number.
