SURFACE TREATMENTS − APPLICATION OF

PROTECTIVE COATINGS (PWA 830) − SPOP−146

Task 70−41−03−380−004:

1. SPOP 146 − Application Of PWA 586 Antiseize, Antigalling

Compound

CAUTION: DO NOT USE PWA 36545 FOR ROTOR PARTS (SUCH AS, BLADES,
DRUMS, HUBS, DISKS, AND SHAFTS) WHERE PWA 586 IS
SPECIFIED.

NOTE: Use SPOP 146 when SPOP 145 Application of PWA 581
Antiseize, Antigalling Compound is specified.

NOTE: When PWA 586 (leaded) is specified for threaded

fastener and mating faces applications, use PWA 36545
(non−leaded) by SPOP 139. Refer to 70−41−03, SPOP−139
(Task 70−41−03−380−034) for the application of PWA 36545
antigalling compound. Mating face applications require
P&W Engineering review before approval for use.

NOTE: When the non−baked on (wet) antiseize application

is specified for threaded fastener and mating faces
R applications (includes all washers that are plain, tab,
R and key), use PWA 36246 (non−leaded) by SPOP 169. Refer
to 70−41−03, SPOP−169 (Task 70−41−03−380−049) for the
application of PWA 36246 (non−leaded) anti−seize paste.

A. Removal Of Old Compound

(1) Remove grease or oil, if necessary, by SPOP 209;

then, remove old antigalling compound by one of the
methods that follow. Refer to 70−21−00, SPOP−209 (Task
70−21−00−110−041).

(a) For titanium alloy parts, clean by SPOP 18 if

permitted by the Engine Manual or Engine Cleaning
Inspection and Repair (CIR) Manual cleaning
section. Refer to 70−21−00, SPOP−18 (Task
70−21−00−110−006).

(b) For steel, nickel or cobalt base alloy parts,

clean by SPOP 203 if permitted by the Engine
Manual or Engine Cleaning Inspection and Repair
(CIR) Manual cleaning section. Refer to 70−21−00,
SPOP−203 (Task 70−21−00−110−007).

(c) Remove old antigalling compound by SPOP 19. Refer

to 70−21−00, SPOP−19 (Task 70−21−00−120−009).

SURFACE TREATMENTS − APPLICATION OF

PROTECTIVE COATINGS (PWA 830) − SPOP−146

(1) Do the applicable fluorescent penetrant inspection or

fluorescent magnetic particle inspection, as specified
in the Engine Manual or CIR Manual.

C. Preparation

(1) For lubricant and antigallant applications, do all heat

treatments or other processes that use temperatures
higher than 900°F (482°C) before you do the remaining
steps in this procedure.

(2) For all antiseize applications, do all heat treatments

or other processes that use temperatures higher than
1400°F (760°C) before you do the remaining steps in this
procedure.

(3) Solvent wipe the areas to be coated by SPOP 208, and

dry in ambient air. Refer to 70−21−00, SPOP−208 (Task
70−21−00−110−040).

D. Procedure

(1) Apply PWA 586 compound to the parts and a related test
specimen, to get a sufficient coating thickness by one
of the methods that follow. The base metal must not
show.

NOTE: It is permitted to first increase the

temperature of the parts and the related test
specimen to 200°F (93°C) to make the application
of the compound easier.

(a) Brush or swab method

1 Apply an even coat of compound with a suitable

brush/felt pad to the specified surfaces of the
parts.

NOTE: It is permitted to dilute (or "thin")

the compound with PMC 9072 toluene
(commercial grade), as necessary, to
make the application easier.

(b) Immersion method

1 To apply coating to small hardware items (such

as, nuts and bolts), put parts two times fully
into a well mixed solution that has a ratio of
one part compound to one part PMC 9072 toluene
(commercial grade) by volume.

a Be sure to shake (agitate) the solution

during this step.

b Bake coating after each immersion,

c When fixtures or trays are used, be sure

that all areas to be coated are correctly
coated and baked.

(c) Spray method

1 Apply the coating to parts by the spray method.

Fully mix the compound with a sufficient
quantity of PMC 9072 toluene (commercial grade)
to make the application easier.

CAUTION: EXCESS PWA 586 MUST BE FULLY REMOVED BEFORE

THE BAKE STEP OR AFTER ANY APPROVED UNBAKED
APPLICATIONS TO PREVENT POSSIBLE GAS PATH
CORROSION.

(2) Remove excess PWA 586 compound with a clean lint−free

cloth.

(3) Bake parts and the related test specimen by the

R applicable subsequent step:

(a) For aluminum alloy parts, bake at 375° − 425°F

(191° − 218°C) for approximately two hours.

(b) For cadmium plated parts, bake at 425° − 475°F

(218° − 246°C) for approximately one hour.

R NOTE: Discoloration (a change in color) of

cadmium plate as a result of baking is not
cause for rejection.

(c) For nickel−cadmium plated parts, bake by one of

R these methods:

R 1 At 500° − 600°F (260° − 316°C) for approximately

30 minutes.

2 At 620° − 640°F (327° − 338°C) for approximately

one hour as a single heat cycle to bake
nickel−cadmium plate and to cure PWA 586
antigalling compound.

R (d) For all other parts, bake at 500° − 600°F (260° −

R 316°C) for approximately 30 minutes, or bake by
either the step for cadmimum plated parts or by
the step for nickel−cadmium plated parts as above.

(4) Air cool.

(5) To check completeness of the cure, scrape the coating

from the related test specimen into a pile with a
sharp, flat instrument.

(a) If pile can be blown away easily as powder,

coating is sufficiently cured.

(b) If pile is gummy, coating is not fully cured.

(6) After application and curing of PWA 586 Antiseize,

Antigalling Compound, do not permit petroleum solvent
to touch the coating.

(7) When necessary for fitting purposes, wipe excess

material from coated surfaces of mating parts with a
cloth or by other means; the base metal must not show.
Abrasives are not permitted.

E. Quality Requirements

(1) General Requirements

(a) Scuff marks are permitted if they are limited to

an area not greater than 25 percent of the coated
surface and are within the limits that follow.

NOTE: A scuff mark is a smooth, usually shiny,

area caused by a harder substance that rubs
against the coating. The base metal can
show.

(2) Small Threaded Parts (such as, nuts, bolts, and studs)

(a) Scuff marks are permitted if the base metal within

the specified coated area does not show.

(3) Threaded Shafts and Splines (with OD of 3 Inches (76.2

mm) or Less)

(a) Scuff marks must be only to the OD for external

splines, or ID for internal splines, and no one
mark can be more than 0.125 inch (3.175 mm) across
the major surface dimension.

(4) Threaded Shafts and Splines (with OD over 3 Inches

(76.2 mm)) and Other Large Parts

(a) No single scuff mark can be more than 0.250 inch

(6.350 mm) across the major surface dimension.
