DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTROPHORETIC PROCESS FOR COATING T-53 AIR DIFFUSER, EXHAUST DIFFUSER, AND COMBUSTION CHAMBER HOUSING WITH 'SERMETEL W'

Abstract

The report covers activities accomplished during program to develop an electrophoretic coating method for the application of 'Sermetel W' (Registered Trademark) to all critical surfaces of the exhaust diffuser, air diffuser and combustion chamber housing of the T-53 Engine. A support fixture for loading, unloading and holding parts during coating was designed, fabricated and installed. A 200 VDC, 50 ampere power supply was checked out in coating experiments on combustion chamber segments and found to be in good working order. Full-scale electrode assemblies were completed for the air and exhaust diffuser components. Satisfactory humidification of coated panels and segments was obtained at 136F and relative humidities of 61 and 66%.
