7.18 Disassembley, Inspection, Reapir And Assembly Techs Flashcards
What are the two main types of defects that are inspected for
Metal fatigue and corrosion
What causes the condensation around aircraft’s
The changes in atmospheric pressure from ascending and descending
What causes metal fatigue
The repeated cycles of stress
How’s is the Majority of fatigue damage displayed
Small hairline cracks on the surface
What’s important to ensure when cleaning the aircraft
That the protective coverings are still in contact and that the cleaning fluids are approved by the manufacturer
What is can be added to metal structures to assist against corrosion
Calcium chromate or strontium chromate
What must be carried out if twisting or misalignment of aircraft structure is suspected
Kluge,ent or levelling checks must be carried out
What’s an endoscope made up from
Lenses and prisms fitted in a rigid metal tube
What diameter are endoscopes are commonly made to
6mm
Why do endoscopes use cold lighting
To prevent any sparks or ignitions caused by heat to occur which is important when being used in engines
What dimensions are light probes commonly made in ( diameter and stem lengths)
5 mm in diameter and 50 mm stem lengths
Why are inspections mirrors fitted with a light source
To avoid dazzling
What’s the most common type of magnification used in inspection mirrors
X2
What type of magnifying glass is used for viewing internal structures
A x8 magnification and a light probe fitted
What magnification size shouldn’t be used unless specified
x8
What are the four general types of actions that cause damage
• Mechanical action.
• Chemical action.
• Thermal action.
• Inherent metallic properties.
What are the two types of repairable damage
Non allowable and allowable
What are the two methods of paint removal
Chemical and mechanical
When is it appropriate to remove corrosions by abrasion using hands
When the corrosion is light
What are wire brushes made from
Stainless steel or aluminium oxide coated brushes
Why’s it important to ensure the metal doesn’t overheat when when grinding off corrosion
Because it may change the mechanical properties of the metal
What type of metal is the removal of corrosion using a grinder not suitable for
Aluminium alloys
When is abrasive blasting not recommended
For use internally
To obtain the best results when abrasive blasting what’s important to do with the positioning of the gun nozzle
Should be positioned so that the glass beads remove the corrosion in a width of approximately 25 mm
What’s the most common type of corrosion found on carbon steel
Red rust
Why can’t power tools be used on steel to remove corrosion
Because they may overheat due to steel being hard
What’s the hazards relating to titanium and silver chips
They are extremely flammable
Why are pretreatments carried out
To increase corrosion resistant properties and to give a surface food for adhesives
