This specification covers an aluminum alloy in the form of extruded bars, rods, wire, profiles, and tubing up to 5.000 inches (127.00 mm), inclusive in nominal diameter or least thickness (bars, rods, wire, profiles) or nominal wall thickness (tubing) (see 8.6).
Rationale:
AMS4476A prohibits unauthorized exceptions (1.1, 3.7, 4.4.1, 5.1.1, 8.5, 8.6), revises condition reference (3.2, 3.3.2.1, 3.3.3), eliminates weight restriction on UT testing (3.4.1), allows prior revisions (8.4), adds AS6279 as a requirement (3.6), and results from a Five-Year Review and update of this specification.
