When possible, heat treat verification per this NDTS follows the schedule listed in 4.1.1 (including subparagraphs) and 4.1.2 (including subparagraphs). Recording of results shall be per requirements in section 5.

However, there are cases where the scheduled tests per 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 can not be conducted. Examples of such cases include but are not limited to the following:

a) When the indentations made by Hardness Testing are detrimental, such as certain bearings and springs.

b) When shape or size of part prohibits obtaining either a valid Hardness reading or a valid Conductivity reading.

When in doubt about such case, contact Process Control, QA, LM Aero - Fort Worth, for assistance.

In cases where testing is not possible the following guidelines shall be applied: 1) At LM Aero - Fort Worth

Forward parts to Process Control, QA, on a TALON Test Tag.

Forgings with pilot holes or tooling tabs shall be considered raw forgings.

TESTING AND RECORDING: Conductivity check 100% of the parts as specified in METHOD #1. For 7XXX aluminum alloys, also Hardness test 10% of parts as specified in METHOD #8. If a Certification is required of a forging producer, the same obligation would apply to a distributor for that producer. Record results of tests per 5.1.

Note: Unless otherwise approved by LM Aero - Fort Worth M&P Engineering, forging shall only be heat treated by the forging producer or the producer’s sub-tier processor.

Record results of tests per 5.1. Note 1: Unless otherwise approved by LM Aero - Fort Worth M&P Engineering, material to

FMS-3002, FMS-3004, and FMS-3004 shall only be heat treated by the plate producer.

Note 2: When the raw material distributor, the part supplier, or the part supplier’s sub-tier processor performed precipitation or aging treatment on bar, rod, plate, or extruded shape to obtain T651, T6511, T851, T8511, or T81 temper per AMS 2770 on aluminum alloy per specification other than FMS-3002, FMS-3004, and FMS-3008, the material shall be tested after precipitation treatment to meet applicable material specification and the engineering drawing. The report showing test result shall be maintained as a record by the part supplier. When engineering drawing specifies heat treat verification of the part per NDTS 1500, parts fabricated from such material shall be further inspected per 4.1.1.1 (d) or 4.1.1.1 (f) as applicable.

This applies to the processor who actually performs the anodize process on fabricated part/detail. The processor could be subcontractor of LM Aero – Fort Worth or its sub-tier supplier. In addition to requirement in 4.1.1.1 (d), the supplier shall perform the test specified herein.

TESTING REQUIREMENT FOLLOWING ANODIZE PROCESS AND PRIOR TO ADDITONAL FINISH APPLICATIONS

The supplier shall visually inspect the part surface following anodizing process to determine existence of discrepant dark areas on the part. Such dark areas may be indicative of locally soft material. Dark areas should be analyzed with a Conductivity meter to assure proper heat treat condition. See Note 7 of Table II in NDTS-1502 for criteria. If the dark areas are “questionable” per the limits in Note 7, contact the appropriate LM Aero - Fort Worth QA representative. When the part is free of the discrepant dark areas following anodizing process, the supplier shall provide a statement that visual examination after anodizing of the part did not reveal any discrepant dark areas.
