AMS4340H: Aluminum Alloy, Extrusions 6.2Zn - 2.3Cu - 2.2Mg - 0.12Zr (7050-T76511) Solution Heat Treated, Stress Relieved, Straightened, and Overaged - Material Specification

Features

Issuing Committee: AMS D Nonferrous Alloys Committee

Scope

Content: This specification covers an aluminum alloy in the form of extruded bars, rods, wire, profiles, and tubing up to 5.000 inches (127.00 mm), inclusive, in nominal diameter or least thickness (see 8.5).

Rationale

Content: AMS4340H results from a Five-Year Review and update of this specification with changes to add provisions for use of AS6279 (see 3.7), remove obsolete weight criteria for ultrasonic testing (see Table 3), update wording to prohibit unauthorized exceptions (see 3.3.1.1, 3.6, and 8.4), update Applicable Documents (see Section 2), and relocate Definitions (see 2.4) and allow the use of the immediate prior specification revision (see 8.3).
