None.

4. PROCEDURE:

4.1 CALCULATION OF NV3B

4.1.1 Set up a blank 7 x 18 matrix similar to Table I for performing calculations. List
elements in the order shown in Table I.

4.1.2 Enter weight percent of elements in column A of Table I. When weight

percentage of element is unknown enter zero (0).

For calculation of NV3B for PWA 1422 use the larger of the two airfoil readings
for hafnium value in this calculation.

4.1.3 Add elements of column A (weight percents) and subtract from 100 to obtain
weight percent Ni.

4.1.4 Enter results of paragraph 4.1.3 in column A, row 18.

I
4.1.5 List atomic weights of each element in the corresponding row of column B.

4.1.6 Individually divide the elements of column A by the elements of column B to form
column C.

4.1.7 Sum the elements of column C.

4.1.8 Individually multiply the elements of column C by 100 and divide by the sum of
the elements of column C to form column O. Sum of 0 should be 100.

4.1.9 Multiply 01 by .97 and subtract the quantity [(.375)(06) + (1.75)(08)]. Enter
results in E1.

4.1.10 From 03 subtract the quantity

{ (.167) }
~.75) (D6» + (03 0142J
(08)+ (03)."l
Enter results in E3.

4.1.11 Add [(.525)(06)] to 019. Subtract from this the following quantity:

3 [(04) + (.03)(01) + 016 + 02 + 015 -(.5)(08) + (.5)(013) + 017].

Enter results in E19.

4.1.12 Enter zero in E2, E4, E6, E8, E15, E16, and E17.

4.1.13 Enter product [(.5)(013)] in E13.

4.1.14 Enter the same figure from 05, 07, 09, 010, 011, 012 and 018 in corresponding
rows of column E.

4.1.15 From 014 subtract the quantity

L
~67) (03 01~
(08) + (014U
Enter results in E14.

4.1.16 Sum the elements of column E.

4.1.17 Individually multiply the elements of column E by 100 and divide the sum of the
elements of column E to form column F.
4.1.18 Multiply (F1) by 4.66 and enter product in (G1)
(F3) by 4.66 (G3)
(F5) by 1.71 (G5)
(F7) by 6.66 (G7)
(F9) by 6.66 (G9)
(F10) by 3.66 (G10)
(F11) by 2.66 (G11)
(F12) by 0.00 (G12)
(F13) by 5.66 (G13)
(F14) by 4.66 (G14)
(F18) by 4.66 (G18)
(F19) by 0.61 (G19)

4.1.19 NV38 = Sum of elements of column G , rounded off to nearest .01 unit.

BASIC EQUATIONS FOR CALCULATION OF NV3B

EQUATION 1:

Conversion for weight percent to atomic percent:

Atomic percent of element i = Pi = Wi/Ai x 100

L i (Wi/Ai)
Where:

Wi = weight percent of element i

Ai = atomic weight of element i

EQUATION 2:

Calculation for the amount of each element present in the continuous matrix phase:

Element Atomic Amount Rii Remaining
