NOTES 8.1 A change bar (|) located in the left margin is for the convenience of the user in locating areas where technical revisions, not edit
34、orial changes, have been made to the previous issue of this document. An (R) symbol to the left of the document title indicates a complete revision of the document, including technical revisions. Change bars and (R) are not used in original publications, nor in documents that contain editorial chang
35、es only. 8.2 Hardness of extrusions should be not lower than 80HB/10/500 or 85HB/10/1000, determined in accordance with ASTM E 10. Hardness has been used to verify that extrusions are properly processed, but an out-of-range hardness number is not always indicative of extrusions with out-of-specifica
36、tion tensile properties. Further analysis, including material composition verification, heat treat process parameter review, and/or tensile property measurement on out-of-range hardness, may be necessary. 8.3 Terms used in AMS are clarified in ARP1917. 8.4 Dimensions and properties in inch/pound uni
37、ts and the Fahrenheit temperatures are primary; dimensions and properties in SI units and the Celsius temperatures are shown as the approximate equivalents of the primary units and are presented only for information. 8.5 Purchase documents should specify not less than the following: AMS4173F Form an
38、d size or section identification number of extrusions desired Quantity of extrusions desired. Whether Type II tubing is required (Where no type is specified, Type I shall be supplied) Whether Temper T6510 extrusions are required Whether Class 1 or Class 2 solution heat treatment is required.
