4.0 DEFINITIONS

• Base Metal – The metal or alloy that is brazed.

• Braze Joint – A component or components that have been fit up and prepared for brazing.

• Brazing – A group of joining processes that produce the coalescence of materials by heating them to the brazing temperature in the presence of a brazing filler metal having a liquidus above 840˚F (450˚C) and below the solidus of the base metal. The brazing filler metal, which may be preplaced or formed, is distributed and held between the closely fitted faying surfaces of the joint by capillary action.

• FOD – Foreign Object Debris or Foreign Object Damage (used interchangeably)

• Foreign Object – Unwanted object, debris, or article that has the potential to negatively impact a

component, subsystem, or system.

• Fastener – Screw, bolt, plug or other hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together.

• Fit – The ability of a product to interconnect with or become an integral part of another product.

• Flux – A material used to hinder or prevent the formation of oxides and other undesirable substances in

molten metal and on solid metal surfaces, and dissolve or otherwise facilitate the removal of such substances.

• Form – The shape, size, dimensions, and other physically measurable parameters that characterize a

product.

• Function – The action or actions that a product is designed to perform.

• Joint – The junction of the component(s) or the edges of the components that are to be joined or have been joined.

• Lock Wire – Lock wiring is the securing together of two or more parts with a wire, which shall be installed so

that any tendency for a part to loosen will cause an additional tightening of the lock wire. Lock wire is not a means of obtaining or maintaining torque, but a safety device used to prevent disengagement of the part.

• Major Dimension/Feature – A characteristic or feature, other than critical, which could contain a defect that

is likely to result in partial performance degradation which may result in a marginal reduction in the products performance and intended purpose.

• Minor Dimension/Feature – Characteristic or feature which could contain a defect that is not likely to result

in performance degradation therefore it would have little or no effect on the operation or use of the end product.

• Non-Conforming Product/Material – Material, component, subassembly or finished product that does not

conform to specified requirements. It also includes non-conforming product returned from a customer.

• Pigtail – Termination point of lock wire.

• Porosity – Cavity-type discontinuities formed by gas entrapment during solidification.

• Rework- actions taken to a nonconforming part or product to make it conform to original requirements.

• Scrap- nonconforming product or material which is unusable for its intended purpose and cannot be returned to a conforming condition.

All other definitions pertaining to quality requirements can be found in section 7.0, General Quality Acceptance Limits.

6.4 Metering Posts

6.4.1 This section is intended to clarify the inspection method and disposition of surface finish found on

metering posts that could be affected by scratches.

6.4.2 General Conditions:

6.4.2.1 A scratch must appear under 10x power using a microscope (0.1” or less in length). A maximum of three scratches are allowed on each end (0.200”) of the two diameters. Only use a higher magnification (20x max) to identify damage.

6.4.2.2 Scratches are not to be included in surface finish measurements.

6.4.3 Critical Area: A 0.015” boundary around each orifice (4), see Figure 4.

6.4.4 Process:

6.4.4.1 Using the surface finish comparator as per QCI 129 verify all metering posts meet the

surface finish requirements specified by the drawing. If the requirements have not been met disposition the parts as per QCI 42.

6.4.4.2 Visually inspect for scratches, nicks, gouges, dents or burrs which may violate the

surface finish or edge break requirements specified by the drawing. Visual inspection should be performed without magnification however, if a nonconformance is suspected magnification may be used to aid in evaluating the condition.

6.4.5 Surface Finish Categories for Metering Posts:

6.4.5.1 Minor

A minor surface finish defect is one with a superficial scratch with an apparent depth (thumbnail check) in a non-critical area under normal lighting conditions.

A minor superficial scratch does not have raised material (burr) that could be sheared or separated during assembly. A minor scratch is considered acceptable to Servotronics engineering as cosmetic on an insignificant surface area; therefore it is not to be rejected for surface finish. This type of scratch will not affect the fit, form or function of the assembly.

6.4.5.2 Major A major surface finish defect is one in a critical area and is likely to cause a loss of functionality or performance due to its location. A major scratch exhibits raised material that could be sheared or separated during assembly. A major scratch in a critical area cannot be used and must be rejected and dispositioned as scrap. A major scratch in a non-critical area can be reworked and re-inspected as necessary.

6.5 Braze Joints 6.5.1 Braze joints shall be visually examined under 3 diopter illuminated (100 foot candles minimum)

magnification. 6.5.2 The braze joint shall have a uniform fillet with no evidence of excessive voids, external porosity,

concentrated surface porosity, linear surface porosity, cracks, blistering, undercutting or evidence of flux residue. There shall be no evidence of excessive braze in the f area which would affect the function of the component. Braze alloy on the active length of cantilever or torsional springs shall not be allowed. (reference Brazing on Spring-Armature-Flapper Assembly for spring area on SAFA)

• Voids - The joint shall not contain voids in excess of 15 percent of the total joint area.

• External Porosity (Pinholes) - The maximum diameter permissible is 0.015 inch with a maximum of one pinhole of the maximum diameter per 0.25 linear inch of braze joint. The maximum depth of the maximum diameter pinhole shall not exceed 10 percent of the braze depth.

• Concentrated Surface Porosity - An area of concentrated porosity which is less than 50 percent of the faying (brazed) surface is acceptable providing the sum of the diameters of the pinholes in the area does not exceed 0.015 inch. Only one such concentrated area shall be permitted per linear braze joint.

• Linear Surface Porosity - Linear porosity shall not exceed 0.187 inch and the sum of the diameters of the pinholes shall not exceed 0.015 inch.

• Blistering - Overheating of the base material resulting in blistering on the surface of the base metal shall be cause for rejection.

• Undercutting - Melting or erosion of the base metal adjacent to the braze joint shall be limited to a maximum depth of 5 percent of the stock thickness and a maximum of 15 percent, cumulative, of the braze fillet length.

• Cracks - There shall be no evidence of cracks in the braze joint or the adjacent base material.

• Flux Residue - A greenish glass-like substance on or in the area of the braze joint is characteristic of flux residue. This could lead to long term corrosion and failure of the joint and is not acceptable. If noted, the components should be re-cleaned by immersion in heated clean water.

6.5.3 Brazing on Spring-Armature-Flapper Assembly (SAFA) The spring and transition radius area for all SAFA’s must be completely free of braze. Fracturing may occur in the soft/weak braze material and the fracture may spread to the spring (or transition radius) over time and cause it to break.

6.6 Sandblasted Solder Joints

6.6.1 Sandblasted Solder Joints shall be visually examined at 1.75X to 3X magnification (J-STD-001 table 11-2), supplemental illumination may be necessary. The joint shall have a uniform fillet with no evidence of excessive voids, external porosity, or evidence of flux residue.

• Wetted Solder - The destination land area does not have to be covered with wetted solder.

• External Porosity (Pinholes) - The maximum diameter permissible is 0.015 inch with a maximum of one pinhole per 0.25 linear inch of solder joint. The maximum depth of the pinhole shall not extend to the frame.

• Vertical Fill – Solder must fill 75% of the height between the wire support and the hole in torque motor frame (“wall” of hole) but may exceed 100% fill provided evidence of wetting (fillet) exists, to a maximum of 25% of the height of the barrel portion of the wire support and same distance from barrel on frame.

6.6.2 Visual Inspection Criteria for sandblasted solder of wire support on Honeywell 99-D0403 and similar units: 6.6.2.1 The visible side of the soldered wire support is the destination side of the solder, (not

the source side) and should be inspected only to the criteria of destination side solder: 6.6.2.2 Circumferential wetting (solder flow at less than a 90˚ angle) shall be 270˚ minimum,

but no voids between the barrel portion of the wire support and the wall portion of the hole in the frame shall be visible. Flange of wire support shall not be visible. See diagrams.

6.7 Castings 6.7.1 The external and/or internal surfaces of casting shall be visual inspected to be certain that they

do not contain pitting, scaling, sand or gas holes. A minimum of three (3) diopter illuminated (100 foot candles minimum) magnification shall be used to aid in the inspection process.

6.7.2 Where the drawing or purchase order do not provide detailed requirements for casting quality verification the following visual criteria shall be used:

• Surface Finish - Casting surface finishes are not easily measured by methods that work

well for machined products; therefore, a visual surface comparison shall be made. All surface finishes shall be 125 RMS or better. All surface roughness, positive metal, and negatives which will be removed by subsequent machining are considered acceptable.

• Positive Metal - Due to the nature of the investment casting process, random positives are encountered and vary by alloy and part configuration. Unless otherwise specified they will be limited to a size of 0.015 - 0.030 inch high by 0.125 inch by 0.125 inch and no more than one per square inch. Smaller defects of all sizes may be present at random, but not in places where they interfere with the function of the part - such as holes, knurls, or lettering, etc.

• Surface Pits - Random negatives may also occur. They will be limited to 0.030 - 0.060 inch diameter by 0.030 inch deep, no more than one per square inch, unless otherwise specified. Smaller negatives may be present, providing they do not interfere with the function of the part.

• Non-Fill - Edges may be rounded up to 0.015 radius, unless otherwise specified.

• Linear Indications - Parts shall not contain linear cold shuts, or discontinuities.

• Cold Shut - An imperfect junction between two flows of metal in a mold caused by the surface of the streams of metal chilling too rapidly, or in effect, being chilled to the extent that fusion does not occur. This discontinuity may have the appearance of a crack or seam with smooth or rounded edges.

• Discontinuity - An interruption in the normal physical structure or configuration of a part such as cracks, inclusions, and porosity, which may or may not affect the usefulness of a part.

• Cleanliness - Castings will be sand, grit or shot blasted to remove casting and heat treatment scale or other foreign material. Castings may have sand blasted, grit blasted or vibro-polished surfaces and be of uniform appearance typical of those processes, unless otherwise specified.

6.7.3 If the drawing/purchase order requires the castings to be X-rayed the X-rays must be examined to be certain that the castings do not contain porosity which would violate the casting classification specified.

6.8 Surface condition: Unaided Visual Inspection

6.8.1 The external surfaces of components shall be 100% visually inspected with an unaided eye at a

maximum distance of 12” to make certain there are no scratches, nicks, gouges, pits, dents, burrs and other surface imperfections which may violate the surface finish or edge break requirements specified by the appropriate customer drawing/specification.

6.8.2 Scratches can be categorized into 4 categories based on severity, refer to General Quality Acceptance limits for clarification. If a scratch cannot be clearly defined as acceptable or rejectable use a surface defect scriber as per QCI 129 to evaluate the condition.

QCI 98 Rev M


16

6.8.3 Reference QCI 129, Surface Finish Verification for Evaluation of O-ring Port Sealing Surfaces, Evaluation of Isolation Tube O-ring groove Sealing Surfaces and Evaluation of Machined Surfaces (non-sealing).

6.8.4 Unless otherwise specified from the drawing, edges must be broken (blended) of all sharp edges,

0.003” - 0.015” and all corners to have fillets of 0.005” - 0.020”.

6.8.5 Tapped, drilled and reamed holes shall be free from dirt, chips and burrs.

6.8.6 If the flaw is confirmed and components do not meet drawing requirements for surface finish and require rework or repair, they shall be processed in accordance with QCI 42, nonconforming material.

6.8.7 Flaws which affect part function are not acceptable regardless of size.

6.8.8 Anodized Parts

6.8.8.1 Anodized surfaces shall be 100% visually inspected with an unaided eye at a

maximum distance of 12”. Scratches should be examined for evidence of penetration to the base metal. Penetration to base metal is unacceptable.

6.8.8.2 Intentional breaking of anodize: This specification requires avoidance of mechanical

damage to anodize. At times, there are requirements for part marking that allow for invasive methods such as lasering, scribing, engraving or impression stamping. SVT will allow such marking followed by localized conversion coating to ensure corrosion protection.

6.8.8.3 The total of all localized conversion coating restoration of protection on anodized parts

is not to exceed the allowance of five (5) percent of the part surface.

6.8.10 Acceptance Criteria for surface imperfections (i.e. dents, scratches, gouges, nicks) 6.8.10.1 This acceptance criteria applies to machined components, particularly valve bodies

and nozzle blocks and is to be used a guide to determine when a surface imperfection/damage on a part is acceptable.

6.8.10.2 When deciding if an imperfection /damage on a part is acceptable the following should

be considered:

1. Will the imperfection affect form, fit or function? consider location of the defect

2. Does the imperfection violate drawing, process or customer requirements?

(refer to applicable drawings, E.I’s, Op sheets, QCI’s, or customer documents when necessary)

a. If the imperfection will affect form, fit or function and/or violates drawing, process or customer requirements, the part shall be rejected (per QCI 42) and either reworked or scrapped.

b. If the damage will not affect form fit or function and does not violate

drawing, process or customer requirements, proceed to question 3.

3. Is the imperfection easily identifiable without magnification? a. No - the part is acceptable. b. Yes - proceed to the next question.

4. Does the part appear to have depth?

a. Yes, use the surface defect scriber with a 1mm probe (as per QCI 129) to determine if the imperfection has depth. If the imperfection can be felt with the 1mm probe the part shall be reworked when possible. If the imperfection cannot be reworked the part shall be dispositioned as scrap.

b. If the imperfection does not appear to have depth and/or cannot be felt with the 1mm probe, the part may be accepted provided that is meets the acceptance criteria defined in the previous steps.

6.9 Paint/Coated surfaces: Unaided Visual Inspection 6.9.1 Painted coatings are used to provide protection from corrosion and/or as a cosmetic coating to

provide uniformity of appearance or identity of function. 6.9.2 Color: Slight variation on color from batch to batch is acceptable. Slight variation in color within a

lot of parts is acceptable. Variation of color on a single part is not acceptable.

6.9.3 Unless otherwise specified, all Painted / Coated surfaces shall be 100% visually inspected with an unaided eye at a minimum distance of 18”. At a minimum distance of 18”, surfaces shall have complete uniform coverage without noted blemishes, paint buildup, brush marks or overspray. All Painted / Coated surfaces shall be free from dirt, grease, oil, nicks, scratches, void/pin holes, blisters, sags, runs, orange peel, Fisheyes, peeling, cracks, and other irregularities per Definitions/Abbreviations in Section 5.0.

6.10 Coils for individual coil inspection prior to assembly into torque motor or servovalve 6.10.1 Visually inspect coils 100% for the following using five (5) to ten (10) diopter magnification and a

minimum illumination of 100 foot candles.

NOTICE Extreme care must be taken during the coil manufacturing and inspection processes, especially when handling the coil lead wires.

No extreme bending of the lead wires is permitted, especially in the area where they exit the

coil body.

6.10.2 Surface contamination such as grease, oil, dirt, epoxy and other foreign materials should not be present.

6.10.3 Foreign material is not embedded in the encapsulation epoxy nor are loose particles/chips of epoxy or fiberglass on the coil surface.

6.10.4 Visually inspect per pictorial conformity to drawing.

6.10.5 Flashing must be removed from the window area.

6.10.6 Flashing must be removed from the outer edges.

Figure 3 (Unacceptable Coil)

Wires are swollen and tapered. Note the white discoloration of the wire due to stretching. Wire insulation is broken at the coil interface.

Figure 2 (Good Coil)

Good Coil is free of flashing in the window area and outside edges. Wires are clean of epoxy and no foreign objects are embedded in the epoxy. No delamination exists and note the color and location of the lead wires.

QCI 98 Rev M


26

6.10.7 No delamination of epoxy/face shims shall occur on edges. There shall be no major cracks in the coil epoxy that would cause it to fail hypot. If in question have the coil retested for hypot requirement. Delamination of the coil may not exceed 10 percent of the total surface and must pass hypot. The amount of delamination that peels, chips or flakes away shall be left up to the applicable project engineer.

6.10.8 Ensure lead wires are the correct colors.

6.10.9 Lead wire insulation shall not be damaged (nicked) to the extent that hypot failure could occur. No, kinks are allowed adjacent to lead wire/coil interface. The outside diameter of the lead wire shall be uniform. Limp wires with a white discoloration and the wire tapering down toward the coil body are indications of damaged wire strands. The lead wire insulation shall not be stretched, or swollen from solder wicking under the insulation.

6.10.10 Ensure epoxy has not wicked up onto the lead wires at coil interface. Epoxy that is located under

the tubing with no possibility of becoming free shall be deemed acceptable. If nicks or tears are present in the tubing combined with epoxy underneath, refer to the cognizant project engineer for final acceptance, rejection, or repair.

6.10.11 Lead wires must exit the coils from the correct locations.

6.10.12 Lead wires must have the correct 45 degree bend, inside the encapsulation epoxy (if applicable).

6.10.13 Verify shims are installed (if applicable).

6.10.14 Using a caliper, measure the length and width of the coil window per print.

Figure 4 (Acceptable Coil Wires)

Pay attention to the wires above. Wires are free from epoxy, have no nicks and there is no sign of wire stretching.

QCI 98 Rev M


27

6.10.15 Using a caliper measure the parallelism of the window to the outside of the coil. This is achieved by measuring the distance from the outside edge of the coil to the inside of the window at both ends of the window. Window taper not to exceed 0.005.

6.10.16 Using a caliper, measure the overall length and width of the outside of the coil per print.
