Statement of Work

Procurement, Installation, and Training of Universal Load Test Frames

N6588818RC00567

1.0 SCOPE

1.1 Fleet Readiness Center South West (FRCSW) operates a fully functioning industrial electro-plating facility for the purpose of restoring dimensional and protective coatings to high-strength steel aircraft components. Necessary as a Quality Control (QC) measure is to ensure these processes do not cause hydrogen embrittlement. One method is to process representative coupons on a recurring schedule then physically test these coupons to determine whether any part of the process induces residual hydrogen thus embrittling the steel.

1.2 The Materials Engineering Laboratory (4.3.4) and the industrial facility (6.0) does not have the capability to perform hydrogen embrittlement testing in accordance with the methods described in the ASTM-F519 standard.

This Statement of Work describes the equipment necessary to establish the capability for FRCSW to conform to industry & Commander Fleet Readiness Center (COMFRC) process QC standards supporting hydrogen embrittlement testing.

1.3 In addition to Hydrogen Embrittlement testing, properly configured equipment will be utilized for Creep, Creep-

Rupture, and Stress-Rupture tests for monolithic, metallic materials, composite materials, and adhesive structural bond joints.

1.4 The Government requires four Universal Load Test Frames, (Systems), installation services, all associated equipment for the installation, testing/validation of the Systems and training services for FRCSW personnel to support the requirements described above.
