Corrosion treatment: made easier.MECHANICS, DA FORM 2410 DATA INDICATES CORROSION ON VARIOUS MAGNESIUM HOUSINGS IN AIRCRAFT. THIS IS ONE OF THE TOP COST DRIVERS FOR AIRFRAME MAINTENANCE. WHY IS THAT? A BIG REASON FOR THE CORROSION IS LEAVING OFF THE PRE-PAINT TREATMENT-DOW 19 PROCESS-AT THE UNIT LEVEL BECAUSE IT'S NOT EASY OR USER-FRIENDLY. IN MOST CASES, AFFECTED AREAS LIKE THE MAIN TRANSMISSION HOUSING, INPUT MODULES, ACCESSORY MODULES, INTERMEDIATE GEARBOXES AND TAIL ROTOR Noun 1. tail rotor - rotor consisting of a rotating airfoil on the tail of a single-rotor helicopter; keeps the helicopter from spinning in the direction opposite to the rotation of the main rotor anti-torque rotor GEAR BOXES HAD RECEIVED A PRIMER AND A TOPCOAT, BUT NOT THE PRE-PAINT PROCESS. APPLYING THE PRIMER AND TOPCOAT IS BETTER THAN DOING NOTHING, BUT THE BEST CORROSION PROTECTION REQUIRES THE PRE-PAINT PROCESS. CHAPTER 5 OF TM 1-1500-3440-23 SPECIFIES A MIXTURE OF ONE GALLON OF CHROMIUM TRIOXIDE The acid anhydride of chromic acid is chromium trioxide or chromium(VI) oxide; industrially, this compound is sometimes sold as "chromic acid".[1] This compound is an intensely-colored dark red/orange brown, water-soluble, granular solid which is stable by AND CALCIUM SULFATE Noun 1. calcium sulfate - a white salt (CaSO4) calcium sulphate gypsum - a common white or colorless mineral (hydrated calcium sulphate) used to make cements and plasters (especially plaster of Paris) . SO, WHY DON'T THE MAGNESIUM HOUSINGS GET THE PRE-PAINT TREATMENT? TWO REASONS. ONE ... IT'S A TEDIOUS JOB. AND TWO ... IT REQUIRES MIXING UP WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL A WITCH'S BREW OF CHEMICALS, WHICH USUALLY GOES BAD BEFORE IT CAN BE USED UP COMPLETELY. THAT'S BECAUSE YOU NEED A WITCH TO BREW IT! NO THERE'S AN ALTERNATIVE: GET A PRE-PACKAGED CORROSION KIT THAT'S AVAILABLE IN THE SUPPLY SYSTEM, NSN NSN National Stock Number NSN Nokia Siemens Networks NSN National Storytelling Network NSN NATO Stock Number NSN New Substances Notification (CEPA) NSN National Student Number (NZ) NSN Never Say Never 8030-01-512-2416. IT COMES WITH A COMMERCIAL TECHNICAL BULLETIN. THE ITEMS IN THE KIT ARE HIGHLY CAUSTIC AND FLAMMABLE flam·ma·ble adj. Easily ignited and capable of burning rapidly; inflammable. [From Latin flamm . THE KIT SHOULD BE USED IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS. MAKE SURE THE AREA BEING TREATED IS RINSED WITH WATER AFTER TREATMENT, ESPECIALLY IF THE COMPONENT BEING TREATED IS INSTALLED ON THE BIRD. STORE THE MAGNESIUM KIT IN A PLACE WHERE THE COMPONENTS WILL NOT BE EXPOSED TO TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING OR ABOVE 100[degrees]F. THE KIT'S SHELF LIFE IS ONE YEAR. IF USED PROPERLY, THE TREATMENT WILL INCREASE YOUR BIRD'S CORROSION PROTECTION AND PRIMER ADHESION, AS WELL AS EXTEND THE SERVICE LIFE OF THE COMPONENTS. 'COURSE, ALWAYS PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FELLOW SOLDIERS BY FOLLOWING ALL WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES IN THE TECH BULLETIN. WHEN DONG THE TREATMENT WEAR GOGGLES goggles, n the protective eyewear worn by dental personnel and patients during dental procedures. goggles see periocular leukotrichia. , PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND HAVE CLEAN WIPING RAGS HANDY. ALWAYS CONSULT THE MATERIAL DATA SAFETY SHEETS (MSDS MSDS Material Safety Data Sheets, see there ), TOO. |
