Borescope Inspection of the Stage 1 High Pressure Turbine (HPT) Blades and

Duct Segments
TASK 72-00-00-200-014-B01 (select one)
(3) Use the names which follow when you identify a blade condition seen at
borescope inspection:
(a) Erosion : A local area where material has been removed by causes other than
heat distress.
(b) Leading Edge Hole: A hole in the leading edge open to the cooling air passage
(can be caused by impact or burning).
(c) Burns: A local area where material has been removed because of heat distress.
(d) Coating damage: Chipping, flaking, blistering, peeling or oxidation of blade
confined to the coating.
(e) Trailing edge metal loss: A burn through the convex trailing edge wall that
causes a shorter airfoil chord length.
(f) Nick: A small surface imperfection having sharp edges, corners, or bottom,
caused by the impact of some object.
(g) Dent: A surface depression normally having rounded edges, corners and
bottom, caused by the impact of some object.
