Potential Problem Areas
Unapproved Materials
7
Potential Problem Areas Cont.

• Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) Silicones
• RTV silicones conforming to MIL-A-46106 produce
  acetic acid (vinegar smell) which
• is corrosive. Therefore, as a rule of thumb,
  if the RTV silicone material smells like
• vinegar, dont use it.
• Cure Times For Sealants
• The use of these incorrect sealants stemming
  from misconception or confusion about
• cure-time designations (i.e. B-1/2) vs. the
  Mil-Spec (i.e. MIL-PRF-81733)
• Unapproved Solvents/Cleaners
• Locally supplied not conforming to MIL-PRF-680
  or A-A59601
• Aircraft/Equipment Wash Requirements
• Maintain proper wash cycles at deployed
  locations
• Use approved materials to wash equipment

8
Aqueous Parts Washers (APWs)
Use Calla 602LF in accordance with Engineering
Change Order 03A0571 which will be added with the
source control drawing 9825019, the current
authorization document from landing gear
engineering OO-ALC/LGHLEN.

Hydrogen Embrittlement

• Hydrogen Embrittlement is a phenomenon that
  effects metallic structures causing it to "decay"
  from within. The metal is weaken by the uptake of
  molecular hydrogen that disperses and positions
  itself throughout the matrix of the metal
  resulting in tiny cracks. The cracks weaken the
  structure to the point of failure.
• One of the most taken for granted maintenance
  procedures is surface cleaning. It is during this
  mandatory and routine procedure that serious
  cases of hydrogen embrittlement can arise. This
  can be attributed to the misuse of certain
  cleaning agents and solvents.

Aircraft/AGE Paint Program

• Develop an annual paint plan
• Include support equipment, miscellaneous items,
  and equipment downtime
• Score Aircraft and AGE semiannually
• Paint worst first based on paint scores
• Incorporate mid-cycle touch-up programs

MIL Spec and QPL Relationship

• Qualified Products Lists (QPLs) identify which
  products have been tested and meet the specific
  requirements contained in a Military
  Specification. They do not tell you if these
  products are authorized for use on particular
  aircraft/equipment. This information must be
  found in the general series or system particular
  Technical Orders.

Researching Products
When researching Mil-PRF-85285 coatings using the
FEDLOG or IHS types of federal supply software,
you can perform a search with the following part
number format to get better search results.
Samples
22
If you are searching to see if NSNs exist for a
certain Fed-STD-595 color you might perform a
search like the following m85285-1--36118.
This will give you all NSNs of the different
packaging for 36118 color.
23
Haystack Search Results
5 NSNs matching your search
24
If you change the part number search to
M85285-1-02G- you will get all the NSNs for
this packaging in all colors that get packaged
this way.
