'Product Improvement Test, T53-L-11 Metal Spray Repaired Engine'

Abstract

Many T53-L-11 engines returned to US Army Aeronautical Depot Maintenance Center (USAADMAC) for overhaul have the lands of the compressor cases severely eroded due to sand and dust ingestion. Until recently it was the costly practice to discard eroded cases. At present, eroded compressor cases are being repaired by a USAADMAC-developed and -approved metal-spray process and reinstalled on overhauled engines currently being sent to the Republic of Viet Nam (RVN).
