SAE AMS 4959D:2003 pdf download Titanium Alloy Wire 13.5V – 11Cr – 3Al Spring Temper
\1. SCOPE:
1.1 Form:
This specification covers a titanium alloy in the form of cold drawn wire.
1.2 Application:
This wire has been used typically for springs requiring corrosion resistance and high tensile strength,but usage is not limited to such applications.
1.2.1 Certain processing procedures and service conditions may cause this wire to become subject to stress-corrosion cracking; ARP982 recommends practices to minimize such conditions.
1.3 Classification:
Wire shall be classified as follows:
Type 1 – Centerless ground
Type 2 – As drawn
1.3.1 Either Type 1 or Type 2 may be supplied unless a specific type is ordered.
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 subsequent 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.
