This Aerospace Recommended Practice is intended as a guide toward standard practices for the determination of surface cleanliness that are applicable to field operation. Some of these methods can also be used to determine quality assurance that a surface has been properly prepared and maintained. The instrumental methods are: Wettability, Surface Potential Difference (SPD), Ellipsometry, and Optically Stimulated Electron Emission (OSEE). Each instrument is described with respect to measurement techniques, limitations, and advantages and types of available instruments. Elementary theoretical principles and examples of the use of each instrument are also given.
This specification covers procedures and requirements for peening of metal parts with portable, bonded-shot, rotary flap assemblies in accordance with AS2592. The principles of rotary flap peening are similar to conventional shot peening, except conversion of arc height values using the magnetic Almen test strip holder is required for intensity determination.
This specification covers the engineering requirements for a treatment to provide enhanced corrosion resistance to sheet metal parts, such as brackets, spacers, and washers, fabricated from martensitic Corrosion-resistant steels, usually AMS 5504 or AMS 5508 and having hardness not higher than 40 HRC, or ferritic corrosion-resistant steels, usually AMS 5506. The treatment is not recommended for use on parts subject to impact in service.
This specification covers requirements for a coating consisting of finely-powdered molybdenum disulfide in a heat-resistant inorganic binder applied to parts.
This specification covers the requirements for procurement of one grade of powdered molybendum disulfide to be used in lubricants and greases for surfaces where boundary conditions exist.
