Ensure all relevant and appropriate Health and Safety Instructions are adhered to

during this procedure.

Component: Brake Housing Sub-Assembly

Part Number: P/No: 5008884-1

Material: Aluminium Alloy

Area of Examination: Complete surface area of Housing Assembly.

Purpose of Examination: To detect surface and sub surface crack, material loss or corrosion.

Extent of Examination: All surface area, including bolt hole area particular attention on
piston seat area for linear cracks.

Equipment & Materials Required:

a) Eddy Current Flaw Detector (Single or Dual Frequency)

b) Test Probes :Shielded, Absolute NFe 100 KHz to 2 MkHz.
c) Calibration Block : Standard NFE 3 Notch EDM
d) Cable BNC to Microdot
e) 10X Magnification Glass
f) Vernier Calliper/ Ruler
g) PTFE\(Teflon) Tape
h) China Graph- Wax Pencil

Preparation & Equipment Checks:

Ensure surface is clean with a smooth surface finish. Visually inspect
to ensure component has no handling damage that could affect the
inspection interpretation.

Equipment Calibration: Ensure equipment pre use check have been carried out. Verify all
test equipment is in date calibration

Examination Procedure: ABSC NDT Manual: AP763 Chapter 32-42-03/ 05 and CMM .

a) Adjust equipment setting as detailed above
b)Place probe on NFe reference Block and set lift off to 9 O’ Clock
position.
c) Ensure alarm box set to 60 percent.
d) Adjust gain to obtain signal just breaking alarm box at 4 main
scale division deflection from 0.5mm EDM slot.
a) Set lift off in known good area on the component.
b) Carry out a series of line, edge, radial and circumference scan to
cover the area.
a) Assess all indications
b) Any spot deflection that cannot be attributed to geometry, probe
handling, change in conductivity or ferrous effect is to be
considered as a crack.
c) Detail size and orientation of defect.
d) Find end of crack and mark with wax pencil as reported.
a) Any crack indication greater than 1mm considered as a crack
b) Any indication of material loss to be reported.
Any discontinuity indication is to be reported to the Originator
quoting length and position of indication on component.
Component is to be considered unserviceable and these components
may be examined by a different NDT procedure (PT/ RT Inspection)

 to make sure the indication is a fatigue crack. If found ask for
technical support investigation/ rectification action.

Post Test Instructions : Detail post clean procedure including disposal steps required for
failed component.

Man hours : 1:30 Hours

Non- Compliance : Include non-compliance statement indicating what to do if work

instruction cannot be carried out If any part of this procedure cannot
be carried out, The head of NDT has to be informed and work eased
until further information is received.

Non conformance statement: If any part of this procedure cannot be carried out, The head of NDT
has to be informed and work ceased until further information is
received.
