SAE AMS6488H

This specification has been declared “CANCELLED” by the Aerospace Materials Division, SAE, as of January 2008. By this action, this document will remain listed in the Numerical Section of the Index of Aerospace Material Specifications indicating that it has been “CANCELLED”.

Similar but not necessarily identical products are covered in the following specification. However, this listing is provided for information only and does not constitute authority to substitute this specification for the “CANCELLED” specification.

SAE AMS 6487 Steel, Bars, and Forgings 5.0Cr -1.3Mo - 0.50V (0.38 - 0.43C) (H-11) Consumable Electrode Vacuum Melted

This specification covers a low-alloy steel in the form of bars, forgings, and forging stock.

These products have been used typically for parts requiring a steel capable of through-hardening to a minimum hardness of 50 HRC in section thicknesses up to 12 inches (305 mm) with relatively high levels of strength, fatigue resistance, ductility, and thermal stability in service from -100 degrees to +1000 degrees F (-73 degrees to +538 degrees C), but usage is not limited to such applications.

Certain design and processing procedures may cause these products to become susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking after heat treatment; SAE ARP 1110 recommends practices to minimize such conditions.
