Build-up welding on trunnion is performed if wear does not exceed
1.181 in. (30 mm). The abrasion or wear may display a variety of
inclinations or crack-like features.
IRB bays are made from corus aluminum ABKANTGUETE
6061-T651 749572.
PREPARATION
1.
Grind off to beyond ends of cracks on trunnion (1).
2.
Clean welding area with a stainless steel wire brush.
WELDING
NOTE
If temperature is below 59°F (15°C), pre-heat welding area to a
maximum of 302°F (150°C) before welding.
1.
Apply circular welding beads (refer to TC 9-237) from inside towards the outside and position
welding beads closely. Depending upon the required build-up thickness, several circular welding
beads must be applied.

3.
Clean, treat, and paint area in accordance with MIL-T-704 TYPE B.
NOTE
Perform steps 4 and 5 on ramp bay trunnions equipped with wear
