8.5.6.3 Evaluation of Damage. Corrosion damage should<br />

be classified as either repairable or non-repairable. Non-repairable<br />

damage is damage that exceeds the limits specified in<br />

equipment system specific technical manuals. If no limits are<br />

present, consult the appropriate engineering authority for disposition<br />

of damaged items.<br />

8.6 CLEANING.<br />

Cleaning is an essential step in performing preventative maintenance<br />

and corrosion control on electronic equipment. Thorough<br />

cleaning prior to the inspection maximizes the chances<br />

that the technician will be able to locate all signs of corrosion.<br />

Once the corrosion has been removed, thorough cleaning minimizes<br />

the chances that corrosion byproducts will contaminate<br />

the component and facilitate continued corrosion.<br />

8.6.1 Required Materials and Support Equipment. It is<br />

essential that technicians understand the purpose, function,<br />

and applications of all materials and support equipment. Use<br />

of incorrect materials or processes can damage equipment,<br />

cause corrosion, or aggravate existing corrosion. Table 8-3<br />

contains a list of approved consumable materials. Table 8-4<br />

contains a listing of approved equipment and accessories.<br />

Table 8-5 contains recommended methods for cleaning various<br />

types of electronic equipment.<br />
