2 LOCALIZED COATING REMOVAL USING PLASTIC MEDIA BLASTING Howard L. Novak Michael G. Wyckoff Lee M. Zook Introduction USBI, a Division of United Technologies/ is responsible for the assembly, checkout and refurbishment of the structural, guidance and recovery components of the Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) as part of the NASA Space Transportation system/ Space Shuttle. The work is performed at Kennedy Space Center/ Florida and the contract is administered by Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville/ Alabama. Figure 1 shows the SRB and associated hardware that USBI is responsible for. Recently/ a considerable effort was made to qualify the use of Plastic Media Blasting (PMB) for safely and effectively removing paint and other coatings from SRB aluminum structures. As a result of the effort an improvement was made in the design of surface finishing equipment for processing flight hardware/ in addition to a potentially patentable idea on improved plastic media composition. Test and Objectives Normal refinishing for the aluminum alloy SRB structures involves coating removal using walnut hull blasting/ chemical paint stripping and hand sanding or scraping, followed by chromate conversion coating, epoxy priming and topcoating. Some of the drawbacks to the normal refinishing processes are: Walnut Hull Media is hygroscopic and difficult to store; Chemical Paint strippers contain Methlyene Chloride and Toluene (Toluols) that require toxic waste disposal techniques and special protective clothing during use, while handsanding and scraping are extremely time consuming and difficult to control. Because of all of these difficulties, USBI proposed to NASA, MSFC the use of PMB and associated special equipment for coating removal on the Aft Skirt structure. The plastic media is composed of a urea-formaldehyde resin with a MOH hardness of 3.5 and a mesh size of The specially designed nozzle accurately controlled media blast pattern and standoff distance. Blast pressure is preset and maintained throughout the blasting cycle. In order to gain acceptance for using the PMB process on flight hardware it was necessary to verify that: o Adhesion of reapplied coatings was adequate o Embedment or surface residue did not exist o Reusability of media was practical & economical 11-17
3 Test panels measuring 24" x 24" x 1/8 H and made of 2219-T87 aluminum were prepared as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Various surface finishes were employed to verify adhesion of coatings to the substrate. A typical painted panel showing primer and topcoat is seen in Figure 4. Hundreds of flatwise tensile coupons were prepared from test panels/ as shown in Figure 5. Testing was performed under controlled laboratory conditions. Statistical analysis of flatwise tensile testing verified the excellent adhesion of chromate conversion coating epoxy primer and topcoat to the PMB substrate. Wet tape testing of the adhesion characteristics of coating to substrate (performed after 34 hours of immersion in water) proved excellent with no failures. Visual examination of test coupons were made using a LEGO M300 metallograph at 100 X magnification/ and revealed no apparent embedment, of the plastic media. A nicolet fourier transform infra-red spectrometer revealed no surface residuals after standard cleaning procedures were employed. A fixed charge of plastic media was used to blast the various test and demonstration panels/ requiring ten (10) recycles of the media charge. Examination of the media was made using a 10X and 30X magnifier/ revealing no anomalies in appearance or performance. Additional work is underway to ascertain the limits of continued reuse of the plastic media. Plastic media blast equipment is readily available from local suppliers who also furnish the sp>ecial guns and nozzles required for working on the Aft skirt hardware Figures 6 and 7 show the general arrangement of blast equipment and nozzle configuration. The gun is easily manipulated by the operator and provides excellent visibility during the blasting operation. Cumbersome protective clothing is not required for the machine operator and productivity is extremely good. Figures 8 and 9 exhibit typical flight hardware on the Aft Skirt being processed at the USBI-Assembly and Refurbishment facility/ Kennedy Space Center/ Florida. Conclusion As a result of successful testing and implementation of the PMB process at USBI-KSC/ other United Technologies Divisions have expressed interest in utilizing the process for commercial applications. Pratt & Whitney/ Military Engine Div./ is presently working on a joint venture development with USBI on advanced processing using PMB. A patent has been applied for an improved media design that should help improve the state of the art of surface finishing. A potential new product line using advanced processing capabilities is being contemplated. The commercialization of space related technology is a goal of USBI and United Technologies Corporation. Hopefully/ continued effort in this arena will strengthen our companies posture in the commercial market place and augment the goal of maintaining the United States' leadership in innovation and invention
