3.15 Shafting.
3.15.1 General. The requirements for ready for issue (RFI) and not
ready for issue (NRFI) shafts are identical except as specified herein.
Preservation for shafting shall be level A in accordance with this
specification unless otherwise specified. Alternate methods for shafting
preservation and packaging may be utilized with the prior approval of the
cognizant technical authority through the contracting activity. Shafting
accessories such as propeller nuts and keys shall not be installed on the
shaft and shall be preserved as specified in 3.15.2. Wood materials utilized
for container construction and packaging shall be as specified in 3.8.2.2 for
multiple trip use.
3.15.2 Shafting preservation. Shafting surfaces shall be cleaned prior
to preservation. Corrosion shall be removed from metal surfaces by wire
brushing. The shaft shall then be cleaned with a petroleum based solvent such
as P-D-680 or ASTM D 4376. The solvent may be sprayed, brushed, or wiped to
ensure the shaft is clean of all foreign matter. As a final cleaning step,
the shaft surfaces shall be wiped with lint-free cloths with solvent in
accordance with P-D-680 or ASTM D 4376. For RFI shafts, shaft sleeves made
from bronze, Inconel, or copper-nickel shall also be wiped. Used shaft
sleeves on NRFI shafts do not require corrosion removal or cleaning. All
shafting surfaces shall be dried by wiping with lint-free cloths and allowed
to air dry prior to preservation. Preservation shall take place immediately
after cleaning and drying. All metal unpainted shaft surfaces, including
shaft sleeves, shall be preserved with two coats of preservative in accordance
with MIL-PRF-16173, grade 1. Application may be made by dipping, flow
coating, slushing, brushing, spraying, or other suitable process. During and
after preservative application, the product shall be handled in such a manner
as to produce a uniform protective film. The protective film shall remain
untouched for a period of time to allow the film to set before application of
the second coat or wrapping and packing are undertaken. Used sleeves on NRFI
shafts do not require preservation.
3.15.3 Shaft bore preservation. Each end of hollow shafts shall be
sealed to prevent entry of water and other foreign material. Hollow shaft
bores previously sealed with watertight steel or other suitable metal plugs as
