AMS 5715 / Inconel 601 Nickel Alloy

AMS 5715 is the Aerospace Material Specification that details the requirements for Inconel 601, ensuring it meets the rigorous demands of aerospace applications. Inconel 601 is a nickel-chromium alloy with aluminum addition for enhanced oxidation resistance, suitable for high-temperature and corrosive environments. The AMS covers everything from chemical composition and mechanical properties to processing and testing protocols.

 

The AMS 5715 specification is available as a bar, forging, or ring. It can withstand corrosion and has an oxidation resistance of up to 2200°F (1204°C). This makes it an excellent choice for parts that require welding during fabrication and for parts that will be used in harsh environments, such as corrosives.

 

The annealing process should be used for tensile-limited applications at temperatures under 1000°F (540°C), compared to the solution heat treatment designations, which can be used for rupture-limited applications at temperatures above 1000°F (540°C).
