11.11.3.1 Personal Protection.<br />

• Many materials such as copper alloys, especially<br />

beryllium-copper (see Chapter 7 of <strong>TO</strong> 1-1-691);<br />

cadmium plate; chromate conversion coatings;<br />

paints containing chromates; lead; barium; strontium;<br />

and chemicals used for corrosion removal<br />

are toxic. Use approved respirators, eye protection,<br />

and skin protection. Take proper safety precautions<br />

to avoid inhalation or ingestion of chemical fumes<br />

or liquids and dust from corrosion products during<br />

abrasive blasting corrosion removal. Wash hands<br />

thoroughly before eating or smoking.<br />

• All powered abrasive blasting corrosion removal<br />

procedures create airborne particles. Respirators<br />

and eye protection and adequate ventilation are required.<br />

• It is essential that all blasting media and other residue<br />

be completely removed after abrasive blasting<br />

operations. The blasting media can be very slippery<br />

and can cause dangerous falls.<br />

• Operators shall be adequately protected with complete<br />

face and head covering equipment, and provided<br />

with pure breathing air per requirements of<br />

AFOSH Standard 91-501 for all abrasive blasting<br />

operations.<br />

11.11.3.2 Abrasive Blasting Procedures. Accomplish<br />

abrasive blasting operations using the procedures outlined in<br />

Chapter 5 of <strong>TO</strong> 1-1-691.<br />

NOTE<br />

• Refer to the individual system specific equipment<br />

maintenance manuals for limits on metal removal.<br />

Do not exceed these limits without engineering approval<br />

from the equipment SPM.<br />

• Abrasive blasting shall be used on stainless steel<br />

(CRES) and nickel alloy parts only to remove severe/heavy<br />

corrosion and prior to acid pickling<br />

and/or passivation.<br />

11.12 NON-POWERED AND POWERED <strong>TO</strong>OL COR-<br />

ROSION REMOVAL.<br />

The following WARNINGS and CAUTIONS shall be<br />

observed during corrosion removal operations:<br />

11.12.1 Personal Protection.<br />

• Many materials such as copper alloys, especially<br />

beryllium-copper (see Chapter 7 of <strong>TO</strong> 1-1-691);<br />

cadmium plate; chromate conversion coatings;<br />

paints containing chromates; lead; barium; strontium;<br />

and chemicals used for corrosion removal<br />

are toxic. Use approved respirators, eye protection,<br />

and skin protection. Take proper safety precautions<br />

to avoid inhalation or ingestion of chemical fumes<br />

or liquids and dust from corrosion products during<br />

corrosion removal. Wash hands thoroughly before<br />

eating or smoking.<br />

• All powered mechanical corrosion removal procedures<br />

create airborne particles. Respirators and eye<br />

protection and adequate ventilation are required.<br />

• Wear leather gloves when using metallic wools to<br />

prevent hand injuries.<br />

• Do not use abrasive flap brushes, wheels, discs or<br />

wire brushes above their authorized RPM rating.<br />

These tools can fly apart, causing serious injury.<br />

• Exercise caution when using sharp or pointed tools<br />

to prevent injury.<br />

• Abrasive blasting will not remove intergranular<br />

and/or exfoliation corrosion from aluminum alloys.<br />
