2、IONALE AMS6472F results from a Five Year Review and update of this specification that revises cutting restrictions, macrostructure, decarburization, and reporting requirements. 1. SCOPE 1.1 Form This specification covers an aircraft-quality, low-alloy steel in the form of heat treated bars and forgi

3、ngs, and of forging stock. 1.2 Application This material has been used typically for nitrided parts requiring high surface hardness, resistance to heat, and less distortion than parts fabricated from steel requiring quenching to case harden, but usage is not limited to such applications. This steel

4、may be case hardened in dissociated ammonia gas to provide a minimum case hardness of 900 HV. 2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS The issue of the following documents in effect on the date of the purchase order forms a part of this specification to the extent specified herein. The supplier may work to a subsequ

5、ent revision of a document unless a specific document issue is specified. When the referenced document has been cancelled and no superseding document has been specified, the last published issue of that document shall apply. 2.1 SAE Publications Available from SAE International, 400 Commonwealth Dri
