11.4.5.1 Scrapers may be locally manufactured from phenolic<br />

plastic, fiberglass, aluminum alloys, plain carbon steel,<br />

carbide-tipped carbon steel, or stainless steel (CRES). Plastic<br />

and fiberglass scrapers may be used on any type of metal<br />

surface but are of limited value due to their softness relative to<br />

a metal surface. Stainless steel (CRES) and carbide-tipped carbon<br />

steel scrapers may be used on any type of metal surface.<br />

Aluminum alloy scrapers may be used only on aluminum or<br />

magnesium alloy surfaces. Plain carbon steel scrapers may be<br />

used only on carbon steel surfaces.<br />

11.4.5.2 Scrapers made from copper or brass alloys shall<br />

never be used on any structural metal surface as galvanic corrosion<br />

will result. Failure to use the correct metal scraper can<br />

also lead to galvanic corrosion after the part is returned to<br />

service. Surface areas must receive further finishing after corrosion<br />

removal with scrapers due to the gouging action of<br />

scrapers and the difficulty in determining complete corrosion<br />

removal after their use.<br />

11.5 POWER <strong>TO</strong>OLS AND MATERIALS.<br />

Power tools are used to remove heavy corrosion from localized<br />

areas on metal surfaces or mild to severe corrosion over<br />

large surface areas. Their use results in saving time and<br />

money, but care must be exercised when using power tools.<br />

Application of excessive pressure can easily damage metal<br />

surfaces and cause internal metallurgical changes in the metal<br />

due to excessive heat buildup. Refer to Appendixes A and B in<br />

<strong>TO</strong> 1-1-691 for procurement information.<br />
