7.18A Flashcards
What two defects do you inspect for
Corrosion
Metal fatigue
What do you do if a component has inter-granular corrosion
Replace
What is metal fatigue
Weakening of a metal part under repeated cycles of stress
How is metal fatigue accelerated
By corrosion
If you need further inspection of metal fatigue what do you do
Get NDT in
What should you do if you find articles
Examine to see if they are loose articles or indicative of structural failure
When inspecting/probing a joint what should you use
Non metallic instrument
What endoscope should you use in areas that might combust
2nd type/ cold light source
What is the definition of damage
Any permanent deformation/alteration of the cross section of structural component
What are the damage classification
Allowable
Non allowable
Non repairable
What does allowable damage mean
Slight/little significance
Does not mean repair is unnecessary
What does non allowable mean
Exceeds allowable damage limits - repair it
What does non repairable mean
Damage to structural repair components that cannot be repaired
Replacement as repair is not practical or economical
When should you remove corrosion
Most corrosion should be removed
What chapter tells you about limits of corrosion
Chapter 51 or SRM
What else should you do when removing corrosion
Make a note of how much corrosion you have removed
When inspecting painted surface corrosion what are the signs of it
Scaly or blasted surface
Change of colour
Blisters in paint
Dull darkened pitts in metallic surface
What colours can corrosion show up as
White, grey, red dust particles
