MIL-T-60697A
3.4 Protective finish. Protective finish shall be in accordance with the applicable specifications and
drawings and shall apply to all surfaces of the component regardless of configuration. Remanufactured
exterior components (see 6.3.2) shall have the existing protective finish stripped and the specified protective
finish reapplied. When there are only small surface areas of exposed base metal on the aluminum exterior
components (body assembly and end cap) it may be permissible to treat the surfaces with chemical film Class
1A as specified in MIL-C-5541.
3.5 Residual magnetism. The metal parts assembly shall not deflect the indicator of the compass more
than five degrees in either direction using the procedures of 4.5.4.
3.6 Shear pin strength. The shear pin, after application of protective finish, shall shear when a load of
41 ± 5 pounds is applied at the steady rate of 0.125 inch per minute.
3.7 Metal parts assembly. Parts shall be combined to produce an assembly which conforms to the
requirements of the metal parts assembly drawing. All threaded joints shall be assembled with sufficient
torque to bottom components.
3.7.1 Integrated plant products. When remanufacturing and loading of the assembly is performed in
an integrated plant, the metal parts assembly requirement may be waived and the residual magnetism
requirement performed on the loaded assembly only.
3.7.2 Threaded component parts. Class 2A or 2B thread gage shall be used on remanufactured
component parts inspection versus class 3A or 3B thread gage required on new hardware for thrusters.
3.8 Workmanship. Thrusters shall be free of cracks, splits, or other defects which might prevent proper
mating with connecting parts or proper functioning of the device.
3.8.1 Metal defects. All components shall be free from cracks, splits, cold shuts, inclusions, porosity,
or any similar defect.
3.8.2 Burr. No part shall have a burr which might interfere with the assembly or function of the item or
which might be injurious to personnel handling the item.
3.8.3 Foreign matter. No part or assembly shall contain chips, dirt, grease, rust, corrosion, or other
foreign matter.
