I <br /> 1 cutting blade without cutting the metal, then the bond is considered not effective <br /> I 2 and is rejected. <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Coated areas which have been rejected or damaged in the inspection procedure <br /> 5 described shall have the defective sections blast cleaned to remove all of the <br /> I6 thermal sprayed coating and shall then be recoated. Before resubmittal and <br /> 7 inspection, those sections where coating has not reached the required thickness <br /> 8 shall be sprayed with additional metal until that thickness is achieved. <br /> I9 <br /> 10 6-07.3(14)D Submittals <br /> 11 The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer, prior to abrasive blast cleaning, a 12 <br /> 12 inch square steel plate, of the same material and approximate thickness of the steel <br /> 13 to be coated, blasted clean in accordance with Section 6-07.3(14)E. The sample <br /> 14 plate will be checked for specified angular surface pattern, the abrasive grit size <br /> I 15 and type used, and the procedure used. This plate shall be used as the visual <br /> 16 standard to determine the acceptability of the cleaned surface. In the event the <br /> 17 Contractor's cleaning operation is inferior to the sample plate, the Contractor shall <br /> 18 be required to correct the cleaning operation to do a job comparable to the <br /> 19 specimen submitted. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 At the same time as submitting the abrasive blast cleaned steel plate sample, the <br /> I22 Contractor shall submit to the Engineer, a second 12 inch square steel plate of the <br /> 23 same material and thickness, cleaned and thermal spray coated in accordance with <br /> 24 the same processes and with the same equipment as intended for use in applying <br /> 1 25 the thermal spray coatings. The Engineer may request additional cleaned and <br /> 26 thermal spray coated samples to be produced and submitted coincident with <br /> 27 thermal spray coating of the items specified in the Plans to receive thermal spray <br /> I 28 coatings. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 6-07.3(14)E Surface Preparation <br /> I 31 Surface irregularities (e.g., sharp edges and/or carburized edges, cracks, <br /> 32 delaminations, pits, etc.) interfering with the application of the coating shall be <br /> 33 removed or repaired, prior to wash cleaning. Thermal cut edges shall be ground to <br /> I 34 reduce hardness to attain the surface profile required from abrasive blast cleaning. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 All dirt, oil, scaling, etc. shall be removed prior to blast cleaning. All surfaces shall <br /> 37 be wash cleaned with either clean water at 8000 psi or water and detergent at 2000 <br /> I38 psi with two rinses with clean water. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 The surface shall be abrasive blast cleaned to near white metal (SSPC-SP 10). <br /> 1 41 The surface profile shall be measured using a surface profile comparator, replica <br /> 42 tape, or other method suitable for the abrasive being used in accordance with <br /> 43 ASTM D 4417. <br /> I 44 <br /> 45 Where zinc coatings up to and including 0.009 inch thick are to be applied, one of <br /> 46 the following abrasive grits shall be used with pressure blast equipment to produce <br /> I 47 a 3.0 mils AA anchor tooth pattern: <br /> 48 <br /> 49 1.
