STANDARD PRACTICES MANUAL (PN 585005)
PLATING PROCEDURES − REPAIR−00
Task 70−44−01−330−100−001:
1. General Plating Procedures
A. Part Hardness
(1) For several plating SPOPs, it is necessary that the

repair source know the hardness of the part before the
start of the repair. The hardness is used to select
the applicable operations in these SPOPs. The CIR or
Engine Manual repair will give the hardness of the part
in the repair. Thus, for these repairs, it is not
necessary to do a test for part hardness.
B. Degreasing With SPOP 209
(1) Degrease the part with SPOP 209 whenever possible.

Refer to 70−21−00, SPOP−209 (Task 70−21−00−110−041).
(2) Protect all such degreased parts and plated surfaces

with a corrosion inhibitor in SPOP 5. Refer to
70−21−00, SPOP−05 (Task 70−21−00−110−048).
C. Demagnetization
NOTE: It is important to do a check of each steel part or

test panel for magnetization and, if necessary, to
demagnetize the part or panel before plating.
(1) Demagnetization Test
(a) With a magnetic field strength indicator, test

each steel part or test panel for magnetization.
Move the meter over all areas of the part or test
panel, especially the faces and rims of flanges
on parts and all projections from the main body.
The magnetic field strength indicator (or use a
unit with equivalent features and safeguards) is
available from the Tool And Equipment Source Code
Index. Refer to 70−91−00, General−02 (Task
70−91−00−990−002) for the source name/address
identified by this number.
5V126
(b) Read the meter.
1 If the maximum meter reading is no more

than ±3 Gauss, then it is not necessary to
demagnetize the part or test panel.

Pratt & Whitney
2 If the maximum meter reading is more than ±3

Gauss, then demagnetize the part or test panel.
(2) Demagnetization Procedure
(a) Pass the part or test panel through the full

length of the demagnetizer.
(b) Hold the part or test panel close to the top or

sides of the demagnetizer.
(c) Withdraw the part or test panel slowly.
(d) Rotate circular parts while withdrawing.
(e) Remove the part or test panel straight away from

the demagnetizer. Do not turn current off until
the part or test panel is at least three feet
(0.91 m) from the demagnetizer.
(f) Do the demagnetization test again. If necessary,

do the procedure and test again until you get
satisfactory results.
D. Masking
NOTE: Refer to SPOP 36 in 70−44−01, SPOP−36 (Task

70−44−01−330−008) for specific masking application
and removal procedures.
(1) For masking, you can use a mechanical mask (neoprene or

other rubber−like materials), masking tape, lacquer,
wax, or chemical or waterborne maskants. The choice of
materials depends mainly on the temperature of, and the
length of time in, the solutions. For example,
(a) Wax must be insoluble in solutions in which it is

used and must adhere to parts being plated without
staining the underlying metal. See the specific
details given in SPOP 36. Refer to 70−44−01,
SPOP−36 (Task 70−44−01−330−008).
(b) Standard lacquer will withstand a 200°F (93°C)

immersion for a short period after which it is not
reliable above 130°F (54°C).
1 Special lacquers are available which will

withstand higher temperatures in acid
solutions.
#70−44−01 Page 902

000

Pratt & Whitney
2 Lacquer is not suitable in alkaline solutions

operated at a temperature of 160°F (71°C) or
more.
3 Use lacquer which will air dry to touch in less

than 30 minutes after spraying at 30 − 50 psi
(206.8 − 344.7 kPa) and be ready for use after
an air dry of two hours.
4 Lacquer must be insoluble in plating solutions

and adhere to part without staining underlying
metal after immersion for one and one−half
minutes in an alkaline cleaning solution (such
as PS 101, PS 117, PS 201, PS 211, PS 344, SPS
119−1, SPS 133, SPS 134, or SPS 199) or for
three hours in any plating solution.
5 After plating, you can remove lacquer if

you put it fully in, or wash it, with hot
degreasing fluid, or you can loosen it if you
put it fully in a hot alkaline cleaner until
the lacquer can be blown off with an airblast.
(c) Waterborne maskant has restrictions as to its use.

Refer to the Masking Procedures in SPOP 36 in
70−44−01, SPOP−36 (Task 70−44−01−330−008).
(2) In general, silver plated parts are masked with wax and
lacquer, and tin plated parts are masked with tape.
Use rubber masks when a large number of parts are to be
plated.
(3) Deterioration with age or usage is another factor in

the choice of materials.
(a) Phenolite and Micarta fixtures wear out and rubber

loses its elasticity after lengthy immersion in
silver plating solutions.
(b) Shapes, sizes, and surfaces also determine the

choice of masking material.
NOTE: Do not use lacquer (which shrinks when

drying) for inside diameter surfaces or
for flat ring surfaces where there is no
adherence when an edge has lacquer on it.
E. Cleaning
#70−44−01 Page 903

000

Pratt & Whitney
(1) Parts must be fully clean for a good plating bond.
(a) Examine the part frequently for water breaks.

Where there are water breaks, do the subsequent
steps:
1 Use a tampico brush (GA 55−1 or GA 56−1) or a

nylon brush (GA 55−2 or GA 56−2) and one of
the subsequent materials to remove the water
breaks:
a A paste of pumice (PMC 3001) and water
b A cleaning solution that you used to clean

the part. For example:
· PS 101
· PS 117
· PS 201
· PS 211
· PS 344
· SPS 119−1
· SPS 133
· SPS 134
· SPS 199
2 Flush the part with clean water.
3 Do this procedure again, as necessary.
a The part is fully clean when you see no

water breaks.
(2) Compressed air used for cleaning and drying must

not exceed 30 psig (206.8 kPa), as specified by the
Occupational Safety and Health Act. (Federal Register,
Part 2, 1910.242 General, Paragraph B.)
F. Agitation
(1) Plating solutions with exception of strike solutions

must be agitated.
G. Baking
(1) Temperature and time are the most critical factors in

baking.
#70−44−01 Page 904

000

Pratt & Whitney
(a) The time necessary at each specified temperature

begins only when the total load is at the
specified temperature.
(b) When no other time tolerances are specified, the

specified baking time is the minimum permitted.
(c) Temperature ranges are absolute and tolerances do

not apply.
H. Bond Testing Silver Plated Parts
(1) Baking Before Bond Test
(a) It must be determined that all high speed steel

or stainless steel parts to be subjected
to shotpeening or chisel test have been
stress−relieved before bond testing by baking at
approximately 375°F (191°C) for two hours following
plating process.
(2) Shotpeening Test
NOTE: The shotpeening test does not apply to repairs

that require silver flash plating.
(a) Degrease parts with SPOP 209 and, with sufficient

layers of PMC 4270 masking tape, or equivalent,
or mechanical masks, mask all areas not to be
shotpeened. Refer to 70−21−00, SPOP−209 (Task
70−21−00−110−041). Use steel shot conforming to
SAE specification S−170 and adjust air pressure
as indicated by results obtained on test strips.
Once a week, test 100 gram sample of shot taken
from shot nozzle to determine that shot meets size
standards. Record results.
(b) Inspect all parts for thickness of silver; use

a Magne−Gage or Fischer scope MMS Sigmascope
(602−156) with a water−resistant ESD2 probe
(602−308), or equivalent.
NOTE: This equipment (or use units with

equivalent features and safeguards) is
available from the Tool And Equipment
Source Code Index. Refer to 70−91−00,

1 Reject any part that has plate thickness of

less than 0.004 inch (0.102 mm), more than
0.027 inch (0.686 mm) or variation in thickness
of more than 0.005 inch (0.127 mm).
2 Mark each acceptable piece, with its maximum

plate thickness and arrange pieces in groups
within which there is variation of not more
than 0.005 inch (0.127 mm).
(c) Shotpeen each group to minimum arc for maximum

thickness of that group as shown in Figure 901.
Adjust peening intensity by test on an Almen A2
gage.
NOTE: This equipment (or use units with

equivalent features and safeguards) is

1 Process a test strip before starting each lot

and again every hour thereafter if lot is
continuous.
2 Poor silver bond will be indicated by blisters

or ruptures.
(3) Chisel Test
(a) Apparatus
1 0.250 inch (6.350 mm) or 0.500 inch (12.700 mm)

blade chisel. See Figure 902.

4 Bench vise
5 Hammer
6 6 − 10X magnifying glass.
(b) Test of Plate 0.002 Inch (0.051 mm) Thick or Over
1 Clamp part in vise allowing access to an

area of excess plate such as would be built
up on the edges of the part. Hold chisel
almost parallel (or tangent) to the excess
plated surface. Tap the chisel with a hammer
until blade edge has penetrated plate to the
interface of plate and base metal. Continue
tapping so that chisel shears or cuts plate at
interface, but stop before reaching edge of any
intended plate envelope. If possible, repeat
at five additional locations.
2 If plate has separated or lifted from base

metal or from strike beyond the sides or
ends of the actual shear path, bond is
unsatisfactory.
(c) Test of Plate under 0.002 Inch (0.051 mm) Thick
1 Under magnification, in an area outside the

required plate area, and using a knife or razor
blade held at an angle of 10 to 20 degrees to
the surface being tested, cut through the
deposit to the base metal and attempt to lift
plate from the base metal. If possible, repeat
at five additional locations.
2 If plate has separated from the base metal

or the strike at any location, bond is
unsatisfactory.
I. Bond Test for Soft Nickel Plated Parts
(1) Chisel Test
(a) This test is identical to the chisel test

described under Bond Testing Silver Plated Parts.
The bond requirements for soft nickel plate are
the same as those shown for silver plate.
#70−44−01 Page 907

Pratt & Whitney
J. Bend Test for Silver, Chromium, Electroless Nickel, and Soft

Nickel Plated Parts
(1) Plated test panels of an alloy representative of the

part base can be used as an alternative to the chisel
test to determine plate adhesion.
(2) Acceptable panels will show no separation of the

plating from the base metal when examined at 6 − 10X
magnification after being bent through an angle of 180
degrees around a diameter equal to the thickness of the
specimen.
(3) Bend the panel until the panel fractures.
(4) Formation of cracks which do not result in flaking or

blistering of the plate is acceptable.
K. Shotpeening
(1) Types of Shot
(a) Refer to 70−41−02, SPOP−501 (Task

70−41−02−380−019).
(2) Equipment − Airblast Machine, Wheelabrator−Frye or

Rotor Blast Machine
(a) Degrease all parts with SPOP 209. Refer to

70−21−00, SPOP−209 (Task 70−21−00−110−041).
(b) Mask all areas which are not to be

shotpeened. Refer to 70−44−01, SPOP−36 (Task
70−44−01−330−008).
(c) Shotpeen all areas to be peened to the specified

intensity.
NOTE: At any time during processing, test piece

may be run to determine if parts are being
shotpeened to requirements.
(d) Remove all necessary masking.
(e) Visually inspect shotpeened surface. Surfaces on

which peening is required shall have peened or
hammered appearance. If coverage of shotpeened
areas is not complete, part must be shotpeened
again.
#70−44−01 Page 908

Pratt & Whitney
(f) Holes and edges of parts must be free from rolled

metal.
(g) Check for embedded shot.
(3) Clean
(a) Remove remaining shot by blowing off with air.
(4) Preservation
(a) Preserve the parts, as necessary, with

SPOP 5. Refer to 70−21−00, SPOP−05 (Task
70−21−00−110−048).
L. Flash Plating
(1) Wherever flash plating is recommended, thickness is

understood to be approximately 0.0001 inch (0.0025 mm).
M. Solutions
(1) Solution numbers referenced throughout text are Pratt &

Whitney numbers and are keyed to numbers in Section
70−44−02.
(2) Parts may be immersed in certain solutions either with

or without application of current. Do not assume, for
example, that an immersion in an electrolytic cleaner
makes use of current necessary. Be sure that such use
of current is specifically requested.

O. Care Of Equipment And Work Area
CAUTION: DO NOT USE EQUIPMENT THAT WILL ARC AND CAUSE

ENGINE PARTS TO BURN. DAMAGE BY AN ARC OR
BURN WILL MAKE THE PART UNSERVICEABLE.
IF A PART ARC BURNS, IT IS NECESSARY TO
FIND OUT THE CAUSE AND TAKE CORRECTIVE
ACTION. REFER TO 70−31−00, GENERAL−01 (Task
70−31−00−200−001) FOR DEFINITIONS.
(1) Tools, fixtures, containers, and benches must be kept

clean at all times since these items directly affect
the part as it is processed and may be indicative of
quality of work.
NOTE: Fixtures used for cadmium and nickel−cadmium

plating must be stripped of cadmium deposits
before each use.
(2) It is not permissible to smoke, eat, or store food in

and around the processing lines.
(3) It is important to label the contents of all open

surface tanks and identify those containing hazardous
materials with a standard "CAUTION" sign.
(4) To prevent process errors that can cause damage to

parts or coating, label chemical solution tank(s) with
the SPOP or approved process.
P. Maintenance Of The Electroless Nickel Controller By The

Plating Department
(1) Calibrate the colorimeter each time the controller is

started up.
(2) One time each week, examine the pH meter with a

known standard solution; then report any problems to
department supervision.
(3) Measure monthly the replenishment pump rates and make

any necessary adjustments.
(4) One time each week, examine all tubing and fittings for
leakage; then replace any tubing that shows wear or
leakage.
#70−44−01 Page 910

000

Pratt & Whitney
(5) Pump clean water until all the nickel solution in the
line has been pumped out.
NOTE: This cleaning step takes approximately three

minutes to do.
(6) Stop the pump.
(7) Replace the tube in the replenishment drum.
Q. Rinsing
(1) When plating SPOP instructions say "Clean water rinse",

it means to put the part fully in a tank of clean
water.
Task 70−44−01−330−100−002:
2. Machining Preparation For Nickel Plate Repairs
A. General
(1) For each snap diameter repair on a disk, hub, or rotor

shaft, the fillet radius of the undercut made in
preparation for nickel plating must not be smaller than
the original snap diameter fillet radius, and neither
the undercut nor its fillet radius may extend into the
adjacent face surface.
Task 70−44−01−330−100−003:
3. Stripping Plasma Spray, Flame Spray, Flame Plate, High Velocity

Oxy−Fuel, And Electrodeposited Coatings
A. General
(1) Pratt & Whitney no longer recommends to use only grit

blasting to strip (remove) coatings from parts in
repairs. Grit blasting can cause unequal or too much
stock loss. Stripping (removal) procedures such as
grinding, machining, chemical stripping/blasting and
water−jet are alternatives that are less aggressive.
Refer to 70−46−01, SPOP−535 (Task 70−46−01−340−014)
for the recommended grind and single−point machine
methods (procedures) for plasma and other thermal spray
coatings. Machining or grinding is an effective method
for the removal of plasma spray, flame spray, flame
plate, and other thermal spray coatings from parts.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS.
(3) Figure 903 shows the methods that will strip or degrade
the coatings in the list without damage to the base
metal. For coatings that are not in the table, use
conventional machining, grinding or, where specified,
grit blasting to strip the coating.
#70−44−01 Page 914

000

Pratt & Whitney
(a) The chemical solutions in each stripping method

that is underlined in Figure 903 do not strip the
coating, but will degrade the coating sufficiently
to make it possible for the blasting procedures
specified in the method to strip the coating.
(b) Each method that is in parentheses in Figure 903

does not fully strip the coating by itself, but
removes the underlayer or bond coat of multi−layer
coatings where the edges of the bond coat are
in contact with the stripping solution; this
undermines the top coat. Chip off (remove with a
tool) the undermined top coat from time to time to
increase the speed of the procedure.
(c) Method P does not strip PWA 53−5; use Method M or

grind to strip PWA 53−5. Method P can be used to
strip all other coatings in Figure 903 from the
base materials shown.
(4) Figure 903 puts nickel alloy base materials into two
material classes as Nickel−Base Alloys or Nickel−Base
Super Alloys for stripping method identification.
Tables 901 thru 903 give a list of the materials
that are in each of these classes. In general, the
materials in the nickel−base alloy class are wrought,
nonhardenable alloys, which include the widely used
wrought types of Hastelloy X and 600−series Inconel,
while the materials in the nickel−base super alloy
class include both cast nickel−base alloys (notably
turbine materials) and all age−hardenable nickel−base
alloys, which are usually of the wrought type.
