SAE AMS5738D

This specification covers a free-machining, corrosion resistant steel in the form of cold worked bars and wire.

These products have been used typically for parts, such as bolts requiring high strength, on which the amount of machining warrants use of a free-machining grade of steel, and requiring corrosion resistance similar to the 18-8 type of steel but not subjected to temperatures exceeding 700 \mDF (371 \mDC) during fabrication or in service, but usage is n ot limited to such applications.
