The relationship between AMS 5596 and Inconel 718 boards
The relationship between AMS 5596 and Inconel 718 boards
AMS 5596 is a specific technical standard (specification) for Inconel 718 (UNS N07718) sheet, strip, and plate. As a quality assurance standard, it ensures that Inconel 718 (a nickel-chromium superalloy) meets the stringent requirements for high strength, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance in aerospace and industrial applications.
Does Inconel 718 undergo work hardening?
Inconel 718 is an extremely difficult material to process because of its high toughness, low thermal conductivity, and tendency to work harden. Furthermore, as a work-hardening material, Inconel 718 undergoes various plastic deformations during processing.
SAE AMS 5596 Overview
You need to understand the scope of SAE AMS 5596 before you select inconel 718 for your next aerospace project. SAE AMS 5596 defines the requirements for corrosion and heat-resistant nickel alloys. You find these alloys in several forms, such as sheet, strip, foil, and plate. The specification covers materials with a thickness of 1.00 inch (25.4 mm) or less. This means you can use inconel 718 in many aerospace components that demand high performance and reliability.
You often work with inconel 718 sheet and strip because these forms offer flexibility for fabrication and design. The specification sets clear limits for thickness and width, so you can choose the right material for your application. The table below shows the acceptable ranges for inconel 718 sheet and strip, as well as related forms:
| Form | Thickness Range | Width Range |
|---|---|---|
| Inconel 718 sheet | 0.1 to 5 mm | 0.5 to 1 m |
| Alloy 718 plate | 2.5 to 100 mm | 0.5 to 2 m |
| ASTM B670 UNS N07718 coil | 0.1 to 5 mm | 0.5 to 1.2 m |
| Alloy Inconel 718 strips | 0.05 to 3 mm | 5 to 200 mm |
Inconel 718 and AMS 5596 refer to the same material, but they represent different aspects of that material specification. Inconel 718 is a specific nickel-based superalloy, while AMS 5596 is an aerospace material specification that defines the requirements for Inconel 718 alloy in various forms, including sheet, strip, and plate. Inconel 718 is available in foil, sheet, plate, and strip. AMS 5596 Inconel 718 is best suited for fluid piping and components requiring high temperatures (705°C), fracture strength (up to 1300°F), and oxidation resistance (up to 982°C).
1. Inconel 718: Inconel 718 sheet is a general name for nickel-based superalloys. It is known for its excellent high-temperature strength, corrosion resistance, and superior high- and low-temperature mechanical properties. Inconel 718 (UNS N07718) is commonly used in aerospace, nuclear energy, and other high-temperature applications, such as gas turbines, cryogenic storage tanks, and aircraft components.
2. AMS 5596: AMS 5596N nickel alloy, corrosion-resistant and heat-resistant, available in sheet, strip, foil, and plate. 52.5Ni - 19Cr - 3.0Mo - 5.1Cb (Nb) - 0.90Ti - 0.50Al - 18Fe. Consumable electrode. Remelting or vacuum induction melting. Solution heat treatment at 1775 °F (968 °C).
AMS stands for "Aerospace Materials Specification". AMS 5596 is a standard that details the various specifications for Inconel 718 sheet, strip, and plate materials. The aerospace industry uses the AMS 5596 standard to ensure that Inconel 718 sheet materials (including plates, strips, and plates) meet the quality and performance standards required for aerospace applications.
Typical Applications of AMS 5596 Inconel 718
Due to its high strength and heat resistance, Inconel 718 conforming to AMS 5596 standards is widely used in:
Aerospace: Jet engine components, gas turbines, combustion chamber liners, and fasteners.
Industry: Nuclear fuel element gaskets, rocket engines, and pumps.
Marine: Components for harsh and corrosive environments.
Key differences from other standards:
AMS 5596 vs. AMS 5662/5663: AMS 5596 is applicable to plate, strip, and thick plates, while AMS 5662 and AMS 5663 are typically used for bars, forgings, and rings.
AMS 5596 vs. AMS 5597: Similar to 5596, but 5597 is typically used for thicker plates.
