NONEProcedure
Refer to SUBTASK 72-50-33-350-071 before you do the blend repairs.
Keep the material removal to the minimum to remove the damage.
For local blend repair, use a length to depth ratio of 15:1 minimum unless otherwise specified, Figure.
Unless stated differently, there is no limit for the number of blends. If there is a number of damage marks together blend the whole area to the specified depth.
Do not use this repair to blend the coated knife edge seals.
For direction of blend repair, where specified, refer to Figure.
Use carbide tipped reamer.
Maximum permitted diameter of the holes is 0.2717in. (6.90 mm).
Remove only minimum material to achieve surface finish.
Reproduce chamfer as shown in Figure.
Round bottom dents to a maximum depth of 0.005in. (0.127 mm) are permitted in the lead-in radii without blendings, provided any lifted material is removed.
Blend repair in area A2.
Maximum permitted depth of blend repair is 0.005in. (0.13 mm).
Maximum permitted length of blends for scratches and scores is 0.75in. (19.10 mm).
Minimum distance between blends is 0.500in. (12.50 mm).
For damage outside the spacing limit maximum depth of blend repair is 0.003in. (0.08 mm).
Maximum blend area is 0.25 sqin (160.00 sqmm).
Blend repair in area A6.

NOTE
Refer to the SPM TASK 70-35-19-350-501 and Figure.
Butterfly polish all repaired holes.
SUBTASK 72-50-33-320-001 Polish the Repaired Holes
The blend ratio must be in the limits, refer to Step.
Use the horizontal rotating table, dial caliper, radius gage set, countersink 90 degrees, special depth micrometer and special bore gage.
NOTE
If necessary use silicon impression material to measure the areas A3.1 and A3.2.
Examine the blended areas dimensionally.
