Thanks der8110, that was very helpful, I am shitcanning the skin, will have another one made and a sample tested, i'll push for the dimpler repair too.
Have a good one!
Hi guys, I am currently replacing a C-130 side skin panel made of 2024-T3 0.050. It has to be dimpled for MS20426AD5's and NAS 517-3's. The hot dimpler we're using isn't exactly flash, the upper die heater doesn't work, resulting in dodgy dimples.
Should I get NDT to check these dimples?
Thanks.
