AMS Specifications for Aluminum

AMS specifications evaluate materials, devices, and components that are used in aerospace and aircraft applications. The AMS specifications for aluminum involve requirements for aluminum alloy bars, rods, shapes, structural shapes, wires, tubes, and extrusions. Specific requirements for each of these products in a particular alloy are covered by a separate, detailed specification.

For example, the AMS specifications for an aluminum alloy involve its chemical composition, broken down into the required percentages of each included material, and ranges for tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation. There are separate specifications for tensile properties that vary according to a component’s engineering requirements, section thickness, and orientation.
