NONEProcedure
Refer to Figure to find the referenced weld area.
Refer to Testing-001 TASK 73-13-41-700-201 for leak/pressure test procedure and acceptance criteria.
If a crack is located in the fairing attachment weld area, do a leak/pressure test on the fuel nozzle to make sure any crack indications are not through cracks into the fuel passage.
SUBTASK 73-13-41-790-052 Do a Leak/Pressure Test of the Fuel Nozzle and Support Assembly
Refer to Figure.

CAUTION
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU ROUTE OUT CRACKS SO YOU DO NOT CAUSE NICKS, GOUGES OR OTHER TOOL MARKS ON THE BASE METAL OF THE SUPPORT THAT IS ADJACENT TO OR BEHIND THE FAIRING.Route out cracks in the fairing.
NOTE
If the crack looks like it goes through the fairing outside of the weld area, it is not necessary to break through the fairing during routing.
SUBTASK 73-13-41-350-059 Remove the Cracks from the Fairing of the Fuel Nozzle and Support Assembly
Use a Stainless steel wire brush or Silicon carbide abrasives to mechanically clean around the crack repair area.
Clean the area to be welded to remove surface oxides from the fairing.
SUBTASK 73-13-41-110-056 Clean the Repair Area of the Fuel Nozzle and Support Assembly
Refer to SPM .TASK 70-11-01-300-503.
Clean the fuel nozzle and support assembly
SUBTASK 73-13-41-110-057 Clean the Fuel Nozzle and Support Assembly
Heat the nozzle and support assembly to 300 deg F (148.9 deg C) for a minimum of 20 minutes.
Provide an argon gas backup (flow argon gas behind the heatshield during the weld repair).
Refer to Figure and SPM TASK 70-31-13-310-501
Manual gas tungsten arc weld (IAE 16A) the cracks in the fairing.
Use CoMat 03-286 WELDING WIRE or CoMat 03-209 WELDING FILLER WIRE, NiBASE 5% Cr that is 0.031 in. (0.79 mm) in diameter.
The maximum height of the weld must be 0.020 in. (0.51 mm).
Do not remove material from the weld.
Weld the cracks in the fairing
Let the weld area become cool slowly after repair.
NOTE
Stress-relief is not necessary.
SUBTASK 73-13-41-310-051 Weld the Cracks in the Fairing
Refer to Figure.
Refer to SPM TASK 70-23-05-230-501.
No cracks are permitted.
Fluorescent penetrant inspection is necessary on the complete fairing.
Fluorescent penetrant inspect the weld repairs and the base metal of the support that is adjacent to the fairing.
SUBTASK 73-13-41-230-055 Examine the Fuel Nozzle and Support Assembly after Weld Repair
