Rationale:
AMS5576M is the result of a Five-Year Review and update of the specification. The revision updates composition reporting (see 3.1.1), clarifies heat treatment and fabrication steps (see 3.2 and 3.3), adds strain rate control (see 3.4.1.1), adds tensile properties per industry standard, addresses flarability for small tubing (see 3.4.2.2), adds required inspection requirement and alternate inspection methods for small tubing (see 3.5.1), adds additional details on cleanliness inspection (see 3.5.3), provides for optional inspection methods when specified (see 3.5.4), updates acceptance consistent with changes in 3.5 (see 4.2.1 and 4.2.1.1), adds NDT reporting requirements (see 4.4), allows prior revisions (see 8.3), and prohibits unauthorized exceptions (see 8.4).
