This document is a collection of comments on topics relevant to AMS powder feedstock production and procurement. In some instances, it provides explanation of characteristics not controlled in AMS-AM powder feedstock specifications and the rationale for exclusion (e.g., limitation of applicability or maturity of standardized inspection techniques). In other cases, it provides additional context on the reason for structuring requirements in AMS documents one way instead of other available options.
AMS AM Additive Manufacturing Metals

This SAE Recommended Practice provides a method for determining the Effective Projected Luminous Lens Area (EPLLA) of a lamp function using design analysis. This standard was created to clarify and address how to determine EPLLA with traditional and new technologies.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes uniform procedures for testing BEVs that are capable of being operated on public and private roads. The procedure applies only to vehicles using batteries as their sole source of power. It is the intent of this document to provide standard tests that will allow for the determination of energy consumption and range for light-duty vehicles (LDVs) based on the federal test procedure (FTP) using the urban dynamometer driving cycle (UDDS) and the highway fuel economy driving schedule (HFEDS) and provide a flexible testing methodology that is capable of accommodating additional test cycles as needed. Additionally, this SAE Recommended Practice provides five-cycle testing guidelines for vehicles performing supplementary testing on the US06, SC03, and cold FTP procedures. Realistic alternatives should be allowed for new technology. Evaluations are based on the total vehicle system’s performance and not on subsystems apart from the vehicle.

The growing demand for lightweight, high-strength materials in marine and aerospace structures has promoted the use of friction stir welding (FSW) for welding dissimilar aluminum alloys. However, tensile residual stresses and microstructural heterogeneities often degrade weld integrity. This study investigates the combined impact of base material positioning, single- and double-pass FSW, and post-weld shot peening (SP) on the metallurgical and mechanical properties of AA6061–AA2017 joints. Five welding configurations were examined to evaluate how varying base material positions on the advancing and retreating sides affect material flow and mechanical behavior. Post-weld SP effectively presented compressive residual stresses, reduced surface defects, and refined surface grains. The average grain size in the stir zone was reduced from 5.2 μm (single-pass) to 2.0 μm (double-pass U-turn) after SP, confirming significant grain refinement through dynamic recrystallization.

This SAE Recommended Practice provides test protocols with performance requirements for camera monitor systems (CMS) to replace existing statutorily required inside and outside rearview mirrors for U.S. market road vehicles. This practice expands specific technical content while retaining harmonization with the FMVSS 111 rear visibility standard and other international standards. This is accomplished by defining required roadway fields of view as specific fields of view (FOV) displayed inside the vehicle. Specific testing protocols and/or specifications are added to enhance ease of use using straightforward language, and any specifications are intended to be independent of different camera and display technologies unless otherwise explicitly stated.

Three levels of fan structural analysis are included in this practice: a Initial structural integrity. b In-vehicle testing. c Durability (laboratory) test methods. The initial structural integrity section describes analytical and test methods used to predict potential resonance and, therefore, possible fatigue accumulation. The in-vehicle (or machine) section enumerates the general procedure used to conduct a fan strain gage test. Various considerations that may affect the outcome of strain gage data have been described for the user of this procedure to adapt/discard depending on the particular application. The durability test methods section describes the detailed test procedures for a laboratory environment that may be used depending on type of fan, equipment availability, and end objective. The second and third levels build upon information derived from the previous level. Engineering judgment is required as to the applicability of each level to a different vehicle environment or a

The scope of this standard is Automated Vehicle Marshalling (AVM) of vehicles to enable remote control functionality for achieving SAE Level 4 (High Driving Automation according to the Surface Vehicle Recommended Practice SAE J3016) driving capabilities at controlled speeds within geofenced private controlled environments utilizing infrastructure-assisted sensing. It specifies a concept of operations which includes a reference-system architecture and use cases, system functional and performance requirements, multiple wireless communications protocols, and associated wireless messages to support AVM. AVM use cases such as plant marshalling, depot marshalling, valet parking, electric vehicle charging, etc. The Automated Vehicle Marshalling Central Server (AVM CS) infrastructure does detect objects, vehicles, vulnerable road users, and any obstructions that help guide the Automated Vehicle (AV) starting from uninitiated, activation, identification, automated control, unavailable and

This SAE Information Report identifies and documents the AI implementation challenges in the following areas: Technical Challenges (see Section 4): Focusing on the technical hurdles to develop AI models from data for complex human-like functions such as recognition, comprehension, and decision-making. Some AI technologies that do not necessarily involve learning from data, such as search algorithms, will not be considered. Operational Challenges (see Section 5): Focusing on the unique difficulties to deploy AI in ground vehicles and supporting infrastructure. These difficulties arise, for example, from issues like cost, environmental concerns, safety, security, etc. Regulatory Challenges (see Section 6): AI-related regulations are rapidly evolving. This section provides an overview of the key AI regulations at the present and some of the challenges to meet them in the ground vehicle domain. Where applicable, this technical report also provides references to AI-related International
