CAUTION:
WIPE CLEAN ALL PARTS AND TOOLS AS NECESSARY TO REMOVE UNWANTED DEBRIS AND PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE.
Subtask 72-21-01-350-053-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL A. Repair of the Fan Case Rear Acoustic Liner
(1) Use theP05-146 abrasive paper, silicon carbide , P05-253 paper, abrasive or the P05-274 paper, abrasive to remove delaminated layers and any frayed material around a crack, tear or puncture of the rear acoustic liner. It is permissible to trim to remove large areas of frayed or delaminated liner, but precautions are required to not score the intact layers underneath:
(a) Remove any loose or torn or foreign material in punctured areas.
(b) It is permissible to straighten honeycomb with PLIERS - THIN NOSE or equivalent to facilitate the removal of debris and provide visual access to the case wall surface underneath.
(c) Remove all material extending into the flow path.
(d) No damage to the case wall is permitted.
(2) Visually examine the repair area. If the inner surface of the fan case is damaged follow the disposition per the visual inspection section. Perform a tap test to verify that the disbond did not extend past the repair area. Reject any disbond.
(3) Clean the repair area by SPOP 208. Use theP11-078 alcohol, isopropyl or the acetone (Material No.P11-065) (Ref. AMM TASK 70-27-00-910-804):
(a) Flush the repair area before wiping. Mask outside the repair area to ensure that the solvent does not contaminate the engine.
(b) Allow the surface to air-dry at 60 deg.F (15.56 deg.C) to 90 deg.F (32.22 deg.C) for a minimum of 15 minutes.
(4) UseP05-146 abrasive paper, silicon carbide , P05-253 paper, abrasive or P05-274 paper, abrasive to abrade the repair area on the rear acoustic liner to make the damage smooth and remove any contamination. Ensure that debris does not contaminate the engine. Remove all remaining debris with a VACUUM CLEANER.
(5) Clean the repair area by SPOP 208. Use theP11-078 alcohol, isopropyl or the acetone (Material No.P11-065) and allow the surface to air-dry at 60 deg.F (15.56 deg.C) to 90 deg.F (32.22 deg.C) for a minimum of 15 minutes (Ref. AMM TASK 70-27-00-910-804).
(6) Mask the rear acoustic liner treatment outside of the repair area to prevent the adhesives and dust from blocking the acoustic treatment with theP05-437 tape, pressure sensitive polyester or the P05-493 tape, non-silicone adhesive, polyester .
(7) Fill the repair area per PWA 615 using theP08-016 adhesive paste, epoxy, non-thixotropic or the P08-025 adhesive paste, epoxy, thixotropic , except the repair may occur in a clean area as follows:
1P08-016 adhesive paste, epoxy, non-thixotropic part A 100 parts to part B 33 parts.
2P08-025 adhesive paste, epoxy, thixotropic part A 100 parts to part B 17 parts.
P05-260 spatula, acrylic or fiber :
1 If necessary, it is permitted to increase the size of the liner perforations in the rear acoustic liner by using the MACHINE - DRILLING, PORTABLE.
2 The compound, when applied, must come through the liner perforations adjacent to the hole being filled.
(c) Ensure that the filler material is retained in the repair location.
(d) Cure the adhesive, refer to step 4.A.(7)(d)1_ or step 4.A.(7)(d)2_ :
1 4 hours minimum at 60 deg.F (15.56 deg.C) to 90 deg.F (32.22 deg.C) followed by 1.5 hour minimum at 140 deg.F (60.00 deg.C) to 160 deg.F (71.11 deg.C).
2 24 hours minimum at 60 deg.F (15.56 deg.C) to 90 deg.F (32.22 deg.C).
(e) Remove the masking tape after a minimum of 4 hours cure time.
(8) After the filler material is cured for a minimum of 4 hours at 60 deg.F (15.56 deg.C) to 90 deg.F (32.22 deg.C), remove the excess filler materials to the adjacent contour with aP05-146 abrasive paper, silicon carbide , P05-253 paper, abrasive , P05-274 paper, abrasive or equivalent. Ensure that the transition from the repair to non-repair area is smooth and continuous.
(9) Clean the repair area by SPOP 208. Use theP11-078 alcohol, isopropyl or the acetone (Material No.P11-065) and allow the surface to air-dry at 60 deg.F (15.56 deg.C) to 90 deg.F (32.22 deg.C) for a minimum of 15 minutes (Ref. AMM TASK 70-27-00-910-804).
(10) Visually examine the repair area to ensure that all damage has been repaired.
(11) Use a VACUUM CLEANER to remove chips and debris, paying particular attention to the bottom of the fan case.
(12) Clean the repair area by SPOP 208. Use theP11-078 alcohol, isopropyl or the acetone (Material No.P11-065) (Ref. AMM TASK 70-27-00-910-804).
