Aluminum Alloy, Sheet and Plate, Alclad 4.4Cu - 1.5Mg - 0.60Mn (Alclad 2024, -T81 Sheet, -T851 Plate) Solution Heat Treated, Cold Worked and Artificially Aged
AMS4478B
This specification covers an aluminum alloy in the form of Alclad sheet and plate 0.010 to 0.499 inch (0.254 to 12.67 mm), inclusive, in thickness, supplied in the -T81/-T851 temper (see 8.5).
Rationale:
AMS4478B results from a Five-Year Review and update of this specification with changes to relocate definitions (2.4) and note regarding properties (3.3.3), update wording to prohibit unauthorized exceptions (3.3.2, 3.7, 8.4), update applicable documents (Section 2), and allow the use of the immediate prior specification revision (8.3).
