This specification covers a corrosion- and heat-resistant nickel-based alloy in the form of sheet, strip, and plate 0.020 to 2.25 inches (0.50 to 57.2 mm) in thickness.
Rationale:
AMS5951B is the result of a Five-Year Review and update of the specification. The revision increases the allowable thickness (see 1.1 and throughout), revises composition specification and reporting (see 3.1 and 3.1.1), updates the solution heat treatment (see 3.4.1 and 3.4.2), adds option for continuous heat treatment (see 3.4.3), limits Table 2 testing requirements, updates Table 4 grain size based on thickness, adds mechanical properties for thicker sections (see Table 5 and Table 6), adds strain rate controls for tensile tests (see 3.5.1.1.1 and 3.5.2.1.1), prohibits unauthorized exceptions (see 3.5.3, 3.8, 4.4.4, 5.1.1, and 8.5), and allows prior revisions (see 8.4).
