Bottomed Impression, Braze Crack, Braze Fillet, Braze Porosity, Braze Ripping, Braze Void)

Tabel 2.1 b
DEFFECT DESCRIPTION
Bottomed impression Pit, cavity or hole in which the bottom can be seen.
Braze crack Linear fracture of the braze surface
Braze fillet Braze in a joint crating a smooth transition between the details being joint
Braze porosity A group of closely spaces, small voids (internal pores) in the braze joint or fillet open to the braze surfaces
Braze ripping A condition of the braze surface characterized by unevennes and irregular appearance with peaks and valleys that are gradual in nature
Braze void Unfilled space in braze material in which a bottom is visible

Abrasion, Arc Burn, Back to back imperfection, Bend, Blending, Blistering

Tabel 2.1 a
DEFFECT DESCRIPTION
Abrasion A roughened area. Varying edges of abrasion can be describe as light or heavy, depending upon extent of reconditioning required to restore surface.
  • Usual cause is resent of fine unwanted material between moving surfaces
Arc burn Evidenced by a small circular or semi-circular heat affected area on the surface of a part that may contain shallow pitting, remold, or crack. Blades with arc burn are not acceptable for further service.
Back to back imperfection Imperfections on the opposite faces of a specific wall (or weld) which normally are opposite each other. This condition is considered evidence of a single through-wall imperfection.
Bend General distortion in stucture as distinguished for alocal damage in comformation.
  • Usual causes are uneven aplication of heat, excessive heat or pressure, or forces defined under stresses
Blending An operation which removes an irregularity from a surface and results in a shallow, smooth depression.
Blistering Raised areas that indicate separation of surface from base. Usually found on plated or painted surfaces. Associated with flaking or peeling.
  • Usual cause is imperfect bond with base, usually aggravated by presence of moisture, gas, heat, or pressure

Radiographic X-Ray Inspection Method Advantage and Disadvantage

Tabel 1.6
Method Advantage Disadvantage
Radiographic X-Ray
  1. Ability to inspect for both internal and surface defects
  2. Ability to inspect parts covered for hidden by other parts or structure
  3. Permanent test records obtained
  4. Minimum part preparation required
  1. Most expensive
  2. Airplane have to be defueled
  3. Area must be cleared of other personel to avoid X-Ray exposure
  4. Test method is highly directional, depends on crack / X-Ray source orientation
  5. High degree of skill required for varied technique development and radiographic interpretation
