Abstract:
A method of immobilizing a contaminant within a component includes identifying the contaminate; and thermally processing the component via a specific thermal cycle related to the contaminate. A method of repairing a component includes immobilizing a contaminant within the component; and weld repairing the component subsequent to immobilizing the contaminant. An aerospace component includes a honeycomb structure with a thermally decomposed contaminate and a weld repair.
Abstract:
An annular bushing includes an annular cylindrical portion with a flange that defines a fastener aperture along an axis. A multiple of spacers extend from an outer surface of the annular cylindrical portion and the flange. The multiple of spacers are operable to control a bond line thickness.
