SAE AMS-QQ-A-367

Description / Abstract: This specification has previously been widely used and may be required for production or processing of existing designs in the future. The Aerospace Materials Division, however, considers this specification non-current and does not recommend this specification for future use in new design.

Scope

This specification covers aluminum alloy die forgings and hand forgings.

Classification

Composition

Aluminum alloy forgings covered by this specification shall be the alloy number and compositions as specified in Table 1.

Form

Aluminum alloy forgings shall be furnished in the form of die forgings or hand forgings, as specified. If the method is not specified, manufacturers may use any method of forging most convenient.

Temper

Forgings shall be supplied in the temper specified in the order or contract. Forgings supplied in the T652 or T852 tempers shall be solution heat treated, stress relieved by compression to produce a permanent set of 1 to 5 percent, and artificially aged. Forgings in 7049 and 7075 alloy supplied in the T73 or T7352 temper shall be solution heat treated and aged in a manner to develop the mechanical properties shown in Tables 2, 3, and 5, and shall be capable of passing the test for resistance to stress-corrosion cracking 4.4.3.
