7.18 Disassembly Flashcards
Inspection of metal aircraft structures is mainly to check for all types of damages that may occur on the aircraft structures, but the main types of defect being inspected for are [a] and metal [b].
corrosion and metal fatigue
Cleaning fluids
Approved aircraft constructor
vacuum cleaners are inserted with
Protective rubber adaptors
Should you use air jets?
NO, avoid using them
There are 3 levels of structural inspection. They are: (1) General [a] Inspection (GVI), (2) [b] Inspection (DET) and (3) [c] Detailed Inspection(SDI).
- General visual
- Detailed
- Special detailed
The optical aids that can be used during structural visual inspection are: (1) Torches, (2) [a], (3) Loupes and (4) [b] or Endoscope.
Mirrors,borescope
According to Structural Repair Manual (ATA Chapter 51), structural damages are classified in four main groups: (1) [a] action (forced damage), (2) Chemical/electrochemical reaction (corrosion damage), (3) [b] action (heat damage) and (4) Inner [c] characteristics (fatigue damage).
Specified Answer for: a mechanical Specified Answer for: b thermal Specified Answer for: c metallurgical
Structural damage contains: (1) every type of permanent [a], (2) every type of gradual change in [b], and (3) every type of [c] loss caused by e.g. fatigue or heat exposure.(ATA chap 51)
Specified Answer for: a deformation Specified Answer for: b section Specified Answer for: c strength
A scratch is a line of damage of any [a] and [b] in the material and results in a [c] area change. It is usually caused by contact with a object
Specified Answer for: a depth Specified Answer for: b length Specified Answer for: c cross-sectional
What is a gouge?
continuous, sharp, or smooth channel-like groove in
What is a mark or abrasion?
scratched area of any size
What is a crack?
fracturewith
What is a nick?
the edge of a member or skin
Heat damage can be [a] (e.g. lightning strike) or extensive [b] exposure (e.g. burn) at metallic structural parts, which can result in a loss of [c]. For damage investigation, a hardness testing or a test of electrical conductivity can be done.
Specified Answer for: a punctual Specified Answer for: b heat Specified Answer for: c strength
The failure modes of composite structures are different from metal structures. There is no [a] deformation in the composite structure. Two main types of composite structure damage are (1) [b] and (2) [c].
Specified Answer for: a plastic Specified Answer for: b delamination Specified Answer for: c debonding
All corrosions found must be removed [a] and [b]. This is essential because corrosion which remains will cause [c] corrosion and further decrease the strength of the structure.
Specified Answer for: a immediately Specified Answer for: b completely Specified Answer for: c new
What is a distortion?
twisting, bending or permanent strain
When using [a] files to remove corrosion, avoid prolonged periods of grinding as it will cause the [b] properties of the material to change.
Specified Answer for: a
rotation
Specified Answer for: b
chemical
Exposure of titanium surface to hydraulic fluids (Skydrol) will cause hydrogen [a] with subsequent [b] of the surface. Corrosion on titanium alloy is recognized as a black or white colored [c].
Specified Answer for: a embrittlement Specified Answer for: b pitting Specified Answer for: c oxide
For corrosion removal on steel or titanium parts, abrasives with [a] carbide should be used. They can be identified by their green-[b] color. For corrosion removal on aluminium parts, use only aluminium-oxide (corundum) grinding tools. They can be identified by their red-[c] color.
Specified Answer for: a silica Specified Answer for: b blue Specified Answer for: c brown
Pretreatment (e.g. Alodine, CAA, SAA) is the initial treatment of the metal and has the following functions: (1) To increase the corrosion resistant properties of the metal by [a] or [b] procedures, and (2) To provide a good surface for the [c] of the subsequent paint coats.
Specified Answer for: a chemical Specified Answer for: b electrolytical Specified Answer for: c adhesion
Two methods of paint removal are possible: (1) Where the corrosion is light and contained within a small area, use the [a] method. (2) Where the corrosion is heavy and covers a large area, the [b] method is recommended.
Specified Answer for: a
mechanical
Specified Answer for: b
chemical
What if the corrosion is light and covers a small area?
Use mechanical method
What if the corrosion is large and covers a big area
Use chemical method.
For corrosion removal of aluminum, components use what?
Use aluminum oxide (corundum). RED and BROWN color
What grain should you use to remove corrosion
240 then 400 to make a smooth surface
