STATEMENT OF WORK
High velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) Thermal Spray Lift Fan
Shaft repairs for Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC).
Reference: T9074-AA-GIB-010/1687, THERMAL SPRAY PROCESSES FOR NAVAL SHIP
MACHINERY APPLICATIONS.
GENERAL
1. Scope of work. Shall provide all personnel, supervision, equipment, tools, parts,
materials, and services necessary to perform HVOF or other thermal spray repairs to
Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) 19 lift fan shafts designated by Assault Craft Unit
Five (ACU-5), P.O BOX 555161, CAMP PENDLETON, CA 92055. Shall apply thermal
spray on 19 lift fan shafts designated by ACU-5 in accordance with T9074-AA-GIB-
010/1687 (Reference (1)).
2. PERSONNEL. All personnel shall possess the skills, knowledge, and training to perform
satisfactorily the services required with T9074-AA-GIB-010/1687.
3. CERTIFICATION. The facility and thermal spray operators shall be NAVSEA certified
to perform the HVOF thermal spray in accordance with T9074-AA-GIB-010/1687.
Required Services
1. STATEMENT OF WORK.
a. LCAC LIFT FAN SHAFTS. Required services to be performed on 19 lift fan shafts
(part number 5749555-015 Shaft Assembly, NAVSEA Drawing No. 53711-248-
5749555 Rev H) supplied by ACU-5 shall be as follows
1. BEARING AND SEAL AREAS
a. PREMACHINING. Machine electro less nickel plating and damaged areas
from bearing area (datum -a-, 4.7427/4.7244” dia.) and seal areas (the
5.378/5.372” diameter area and the 4.438+/-.003” dia. area) to remove in
preparation for HVOF thermal spray coating.
b. SURFACE PREPARATIONS. Clean and prepare the surfaces to be HVOF
coated in accordance with T9074-AA-GIB-010/1687 and the facilities
NAVSEA approved process instruction.
c. COATING. Coat the bearing and seal areas with HVOF thermal sprayed
tungsten carbide to a thickness required to finish areas to final print. If the
machined area removed in step, (a) is greater than 0.020” thick, use a
-- 1 of 4 --
compatible stainless steel metal alloy or Inconel as a base metal buildup
followed by the tungsten carbide coating.
d. FINISH MACHINING. Machine and/or grind the coated areas to original
print dimensions and surface finish.
2. THREAD REPAIRS. If a full build up is required / desired by ACU-5 then use
the following:
a. If ACU-5 determines that threaded shaft surfaces in the areas of the bearing
locknut or the hub nut are damaged beyond local repair capabilities, the
facility shall machine off damaged threads, weld build up the area of the
damaged threads in accordance with the welding procedure approved by the
Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and coastal system center code
A41, LCAC In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA), and recut new threads to
original print dimensions.
b. If repairs both to the threaded areas and to the bearing and seal areas are
required on the same lift fan shaft, the thread repairs shall be accomplished
first and then the coating of the bearing and seal areas shall be accomplished,
so that the bearing seal area coating will not be affected adversely by the heat
involved with the weld buildup of the thread area(s).
c. If it is determined that thread repairs are required to a lift fan shaft that
previously has had HVOF coating repairs made to the bearing and seal areas,
the bearing and seal areas shall be recoated and finished after the thread
repairs are accomplished, since the heat involved with the weld buildup of
the threaded areas will destroy the integrity of the HVOF coating previously
applied to the bearing and seal areas.
d. Other LCAC Components. If other items require repair, Naval Surface
Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC-PCD), Code E32, LCAC In-
Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) shall be advised/consulted before any
work is started. The statement of work for thermal spray repairs on other
LCAC components designated by ACU-5 shall be included in the individual
delivery orders directing repairs. When requested by the designated point of
contact at ACU-5, the facility shall submit a written quotation for these
repairs detailing the work proposed and the price for accomplishment.
2. SALVAGE PARTS. If the repairs ordered require the replacement of parts, the parts replaced
shall be tagged and returned to the designated point of contact at ACU-5. The tag shall annotate
the part number, nomenclature, and equipment from which it was removed.
3. SHIPPING/FREIGHT. The FOB point is the contractor’s facility.
