Superseding AMS4165G
Aluminum Alloy, Extrusions
4.4Cu - 1.5Mg - 0.60Mn (2024-13511)
Solution Heat Treated, Stress-Relieved by Stretching, and Straightened

RATIONALE
‘AMS4165H has been reaffirmed to comply with the SAE five-year review policy
1. SCOPE:
1.4 Form:
‘Tis specication covers an sturinum alloy inthe form of extruded bes, rods, wie, profes, ond
ing,
1.2. Application:
‘These extrusions have been used typically for parts subject to excessive warpage during machining
due to residual stresses and for parts requiring high strength and whose fabrication does not
normally involve welding, but usage is not limited to such applications.
1.2.1 Certain processing procedures may cause these extrusions to become susceptible to stress-
corrosion cracking; ARP823 recommends practices to minimize such conditions.
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 supplied 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.

tolerances (3.6) are acceptance tests and, except for composition, shall be performed on each
inspection lot
4.3 Sampling and Testing:
Shall be in accordance with AMS 2355.
44 Reports
‘The vendor of extrusions shall furnish with each shipment a report stating that the extrusions
conform to the chemical composition, ultrasonic inspection when specified, and tolerances and
showing the numerical results of tests on each inspection lot to determine conformance to the other
acceptance test requirements. This report shall include the purchase order number, inspection lot
number, AMS 4465H, size or section identification number, and quantity. The report shall also

‘acknowledging purchase orders.
REJECTIONS:
Extrusions not conforming to this specification, or to modifications authorized by purchaser, will be
subject to rejection.
NOTES:
‘A change bar () located in the left margin is for the convenience of the user in locating areas where
technical revisions, not editorial changes, have been mace to the previous issue of a specification

Change bars and (R) are not used in original publications, nor in specifications that contain editorial
changes only.
Hardness should be not lower then 100HB/" 0/500 or 108H8/10/1000, determined in accordance
with ASTM E 10. Hardness has been used to verify that extrusions have been properly processed,
but an out-of-range hardness number is not always indicative of extrusions with out-of-specification
tensile properties. Further analysis, including rnaterial composition verification, heat treat process.
parameter review, and/or tensile property measurement on extrusions with out-of-range hardness,
may be necessary.
Terms used in AMS are clarified in ARP1917.
