An industry-wide interest has arisen with regards to the properties and capabilities of investment cast PH 13-8Mo corrosion resistant steel. Specifically of interest are the structural applications in the aerospace industry for this product heat treated to the H1000 condition. The objective of this AMEC cooperative test program was to generate and compile useful data for aerospace structural evaluation of investment cast PH 13-8Mo heat treated to H1000. The focus of the test program was the determination of overall mechanical properties, fatigue, fracture toughness, and crack growth data along with basic microstructural evaluation of the investment cast material. Additional objectives included the evaluation of mechanical property variations between cast and machined tensile specimens and evaluation of microstructural constituents. All testing was performed to determine the suitability of PH 13-8Mo, H1000 investment castings for use in the aerospace industry.
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) addresses the general procedure for the best practices for minimizing uncertainty when calibrating thermal conductivity and cold cathode vacuum gauges, which includes the vacuum sensor(s) and accompanying electronics necessary for a pressure measurement to be made. It also includes the best practices for an in-process verification where limitations make it impossible to follow the best practices for minimizing uncertainty. Verifying the accuracy and operation of vacuum gauges is critical to ensure the maintenance of processes while under vacuum.

This document requires that the company (facility) employing the personnel ensure a verifiable program of on-the-job training, experience, education, classroom instruction, and evaluation of personnel using either company-created programs or programs described herein.
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) describes training and approval of personnel performing certain heat-treating and associated operations that could have a material impact on the properties of materials being heat treated. It also recommends that only approved personnel perform or monitor the functions listed in Table 1.
The purpose of this standard is to provide uniform methods for defining, quantifying, and classifying the residual stress in metallic structural alloy products and finished parts. These stresses may exist within a single element, or they may be the result of a joining process. Such quantification and classification may be required when residual stresses within mill stock or preforms can impact further in-process distortion during machining or other processes, and when residual stresses within finished components can impact final mechanical properties and performance (especially strength, durability, and fracture performance).
This specification covers the engineering requirements and process for brush plating of zinc-nickel by electrodeposition. It is used, in conjunction with AMS 2451, for corrosion-protective, zinc-nickel deposits, which may allow omission of hydrogen embrittlement relief treatment of high-strength steel.
This specification covers the engineering requirements and process for brush plating of medium-hardness, low stress nickel by electrodeposition. It should be used, in conjunction with AMS 2451, for medium-hardness, low stress nickel deposits.
